Paleo-Hebrew (Ancient Hebrew) font isn't equivalent with modern Hebrew keys in Win10
I've installed the Paleo-Hebrew (PH) alphabet font in my Win10. I can use it in MS word after installation but the problem is the PH Alef (𐤀) Isn't eqivalent to the MH Alef (א).
Moreover, when I go to MS WORD and chooses PH font, it will let me write letters in it only if I'm in English, and in anyway the keyboard isn't synchronized, for example, when I type the Alef key I get another PH letter while in MH mode I will get Alef.

If you write "Paleo hebrew font" the first link you will have to "BiblePlaces" contains it. To write it you can type T. To write Bet (the second char in Hebrew) you can type C.

I have installed it on my computer and typed in Word 2010 the text "tTcC". The result is here and doesn't look like yours - please verify if mine is correct. If mine is correct - try to reinstall the font. If that doesn't help - which versions of Windows and Word do you use?

I have installed the Paleo-Hebrew font and tried it with Word 2010.
Typing the characters a to z gives this text:
Going by the The Hebrew Language table that I found, and using the
Middle characters, these characters correspond to :
a - aleph
b - bet
c - tsade
d - dal
e - shin
f - gam
g - hey
i - tet
Now I have found another Hebrew font, Evyoni Paleo,
with which the same a-z gives this :
Here we can see :
a - aleph
b - bet
c - unused
d - dal
e - unused
f - pey
g - gam
i - unused
I haven't gone any further with the correspondence, but if we compare to
a Hebrew keyboard layout that I found :
My conclusion is that both fonts work correctly, except maybe the Evyoni Paleo
font maps less characters, but both have tried to associate the
English and Hebrew characters phonetically by their sounds, rather than
adhering to the Hebrew keyboard layout, according to the English keyboard.
If you would rather map them to Hebrew keyboard, you could use a product such as
AutoHotkey that can reprogram the keyboard and much more.

These are not Unicode fonts. Choosing a Paleo-Hebrew Unicode font will match the same letters as Modern Hebrew in most cases. Although ancient semitic scripts have their own unicode range, most of the fonts I've seen provide glyphs in both ranges to make them compatible with Modern Hebrew.

Do you usually use an IME (Input Method, Input Tool, Keyboard Software) to write Paleo-Hebrew? Like I know CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) characters are entered as combination of key strokes and require an IME to interpret these key strokes. If so you may look for a software solution. As try Windows keyboard layouts. I don't speak Hebrew so I'm not gonna write an answer.
