Dear Mohammad,

The text seems to be correct, only the footnotes on some pages are not 
separated from the main text correctly. I do not know how you defined the 
footnotes, by manyfoot? Probably it helps if you run the file on TeX Live which 
may include a more recent version of bidi, or such a version can be updated? 
Unfortunately, I am not aquaint with Mik Tex.

Best wishes and best regards,
Jens
