I have not tested that...
If you are on a Mac (OSX) try Mellel. Its a great word processor at all 
and the only Wordprocessor I know, which can do hebrew (because they 
are from Israel) and also arabic since the last update. You can change 
with a btn the direction from left to right to right to left. Can be 
mixed in a document. You could try to export the left to right arabic 
text as rtf and import it in to rev.
Or select/copy the text to the clipboard and paste it in to a text 
field. That works fine for me with "regular" (german, english) text. If 
it does not work with arabic font, send the authors an note, they are 
very responsiv...

hope that helps
