Re: French dictionary

Hi Marie-Aimee:

Yes, French is included as a language in the Office proofing tools.

However, you must mark the Text of the document in French for the spelling
checker to work. Use Tools>Language to do that.

NOTE: Mac Word has only two dialects of French: "French", and "French
Canadian". PC Word has more.

If you receive a document that is marked to be in a language that you do not
have, you will get this error message. To fix it, try highlighting the text
and re-setting the language to French.

Please also be aware that I seem to remember there are some issues with
French Language. Sometimes it doesn't work!

I hope one of our Francophone MVPs will be along in the moment with more
detail.

Hope this helps
