Just a guess: can it be that Word US is somewhat newer than Word FR and
installing Word US installs a, I presume, shared dll, that is newer than
the one Word FR installs? The dll is in the Windows/System32 directory, and
is overwritten by Word US (the newer one) and when you install Word FR
again, it will NOT be overwritten.
