arabic number in bidi algorithm

Hello,

According to the Bidi algorithm, the arabic number (U+0671 - U+0679) has the
strong type, RIGHT-TO-LEFT. So, regardless of RLO and RLE, can I say that
the arabic number (U+0671 - U+0679) would be always written from RIGHT to LEFT.
This is confused me due to I see that, in miscrosoft word (arabic version),
the arabic number is written from LEFT to RIGHT.

May be someone can let me know which one is right or I miss anything ?

Thanks a lot.

Chookij V.
