Using Tamil font on Word in Mac (2011 version)

How does one use Tamil language font in Word on Mac? The built in programme of 'Anjal' or 'Tamil99' work only on google or facebook, the fonts don't appear when I open Word. I need to use Tamil font on Word in Mac, urgent assignment! I do not have a tamil keyboard for Tamil99 so 'Anjal' is the programme I need, but why doesn't it work with Word??? Is there anything else I can download and use? Please assist!

Microsoft Word for Mac will not support Tamil: there's no way to make it do that properly.

However, many other applications on the Mac will support it, and you can copy/paste into Word (or Save As and Open...)

Have a look here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3030957?start=15&tstart=0

Failing that, it works properly in Windows 7 and above.
