Enforce accented uppercase characters

If you're working with French text, you can specify whether the spelling checker flags non-accented uppercase characters as spelling errors.

Note  For some variants of French, such as French Canadian, this option is automatically turned on. In those languages, Microsoft Word automatically accents words that begin with a capitalized character as appropriate, and the spelling checker flags non-accented uppercase characters as appropriate.

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Edit tab.
2. Select the Enforce accented uppercase in French check box.
