Default Word 2007 - keys on laptop keyboard showing characters withaccent

Are you saying that some keys on your keyboard have an accented
letter, probably in a different color?

The documentation that came with your computer (or the manufacturer's
website) will tell you how to switch back and forth between its
character sets. There's probably a key for it.

This isn't a Word matter.

By any chance is your default Windows language set for French? To check, look
in your Control Panel under Date, Time, Language and Regional Options.
