I am trying to create a scroll for a craft project, and i thought if I typed 
something in a blank publisher page, and set the font to "Arabic typesetting" 
it would show or print in arabic, then I could draw the characters on my 
Scroll, however, it won't print in the other language. Can someone helP?

From your Help:

The feature or some of the options described in this Help topic are only 
available if support for an East Asian or right-to-left language is enabled 
through Microsoft Office Language Settings.

On the File menu, click Page Setup. On the Layout tab, under Publication type, 
select the Right-to-left page order check box.

Note  Before you insert a page in a publication, check the page setting. When 
the right-to-left page order is set for a publication, the pages are ordered 
from the right to the left. If, for example, you try to insert a page as the 
third from the right without checking the page setting, it might appear as the 
third from the left.

You might try copying/pasting something here

In addition to the steps mentioned by Mary Sauer you may also try the 
following:

1) Start -> Control Panel -> Regional and Language Settings -> Keyboards and 
Languages -> Change Keyboard 
2) Select Arabic 
3) Click Add Button. A dialogue box opens. Under Arabic, select the 
appropriate Arabic keyboard and jit 'ok'
4) Select Arabic Keyboard and hit move up and then 'ok'.
5) Either in the pane bellow or to the corner or at the top you will find 
"EN English (United States) ". From the drop down menu select Arabic(country)
6) Open PPT.  You should now be able to type in Arabic.
