Just testing now with Spanish and English as I had already uninstalled the Arabic version, if the have the Arabic Version installed and go to File>Options>Language and under Office Display language, move the Arabic version to the top of the list

Then after restarting Word, follow the procedure in

the article "How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Microsoft Word document" on the following page of the Late Shauna Kelly's website:

 

http://shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/numbering20072010.html?p=1768

 

to define a numbering style with the required type of numbering, and apply that language to the Style to which you link that numbering, in the Modify Style dialog, making sure that the modification will be applied to all documents based on the template, when you then go back to the Options>Language facility and set English as the Office Display language, you can get that type of numbering when you apply that Style as shown below when I followed the above procedure with Spanish before changing back to English.

    I am not sure if it will make any difference, but what type of Arabic are you using - Algeria, Bahrain Egypt Iraq Jordan Kuwait Lebanon Libya Morocco Oman Qatar Saudi Arabia Syria Tunisia UAE Yemen?
