i have changed the display of numeral characters in MS Word (Advanced/show document contents/numeral) to context. when i type a number in Arabic, everything is fine and it displays the Arabic numbers but when I press Enter and it is changed to Numbering bullets, the numbers are back in English and there is no way to change it.

please help me with this.

    You will need to set up your numbering, linked to Styles as detailed 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:
