I just saw your response now and tried it out.

\renewcommand\theenumi{\alph{enumi}}%For Hebrew numbering of enumeration

The above works well (except that the code for the numbers 15, 16 etc
still has to be fixed).


\renewcommand{\thesection}{\alph{section}}
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\alph{page}}

Section and Page don't work with for me. I get an X with a box around
it where the section and page numbers should appear.

I have the latest bidi, I believe, and poylglossia is v1.0.2 according
to C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\doc\xelatex/polyglossia/README  (Is
there some way to tell what version of a package is actually run?).

Thank you for the help.
