------------------
We use the Microsoft proofing tools for Word in French (German and Spanish
too) that include spell check, grammar check, hyphenation rules and
thesaurus. As much as I *hate* to plug Micorsoft, these tools are nice for
us as they don't require learning the subtle differences between Word and
another word processor.  Word processing is done as it is in English in
Word.  Another nice feature of these tools is that they can be used in other
MS applications as well, like Power Point, Access and Excel. For more info:
