Default Footnote language always defaults to English - Word 2007

Most things in my computer are in English, but I write a lot in French (a lot
as in I'm writing my fifth 400+ page book). I also use a lot of footnote (a
lot as in the book I'm working on currently has 2227 footnotes). So having
this work matters to me.

So I set the document language as French. But every time I create a
footnote, it switches to English. I say "switches", because it actually
briefly shows it as being in French, but after a second or two switches to
English, meaning that every time I make a footnote, I have to switch it back
to French.

So I decided to go nuclear: I went into the Word Options -- General --
Language and changed the Primary Editing Language to French. No luck.

I went in and changed the Footnote style to explicitly declare the language
for that style to be French. No luck.

So far, nothing I've tried has allowed me to create a footnote in French.
Even in a French document, with my primary editing language set to French and
the Footnote style set to French, when I create a footnote, it's in English
and I have to manually change it to French.

Any ideas? This is the trial version of Word 2007 Home and Student on Vista.
All updated with most recent updates. If I can't fix this, I might have to
just keep sticking to Word 2000, which mostly works.

Please ignore this. I got confused about the organization of the forums and
double posted. Sorry.
