Gujarati half forms do not form correctly in MS Word?

[MrBrezina]

There is a problem in displaying half characters in Gujarati of the Rasa font in Windows text editors such as MS word, Wordpad etc... The problem is that Rasa font is not displaying half characters correctly. Instead of joining the half letter to the letter next to it, MS Word (like all text editors in windows) shows it as a 'halant' which in most words considered as a bad or incorrect gujarati. However on Google Fonts it is displayed correctly. I have attached a screenshot for your better understanding.

This may be MS Word refusing OpenType layout or using older layout (gujr, but not gujr2).

This apparently happens when using MS Word 2010 on Windows 7 Sp1.
