do anyone know if there is a way to set up spell check so i knows french words?
i mean i write in english but if i use a french word it always comes up in
spell check as spelled wrong as if i was spelling a english word.

For example:

a "poissonier" is responsible for all fish and shellfish items and there
sauces.

the word in qoutes would be found as spelt wrong as it is a french word not
english word. So is there a install or somthing that puts french into my
dictionary for spell check or no?

French and Spanish spelling are built into the English version of
Word.

Select the French word. Go to Tools Languages Set Language. Choose
"French" and make sure the "do not check spelling" box is NOT checked.
Click OK.

I suggest a macro to "select last word and change spelling of last word
to French". This could be attached to an unused key comno or a new
button in the menubar.

The macro should read something like....

Sub frenchtest()
'
' frenchtest Makro
'
Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.LanguageID = wdFrench
Selection.NoProofing = False
Application.CheckLanguage = True
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1

End Sub

("Selection.NoProofing = False", and "Application.CheckLanguage = True"
are (I think) dependant upon other user settings. Record your own macro
to do this based on your settings).

If you attach this to ie, ALT+F then everytime you write a French word
you hit ALT+F and it switches the language control of that word to
French. You can then continue writing as if nothing else has happened
and all other words will be English.

Good Luck...
