Many word processors have French dictionaries. You have to set the
language that you're going to write in, and then the spell checker
should work.
If you don't use an international keyboard, however, you may have some
fun with all the diacritical marks in the French language. The Compose
key will solve that problem, but it's just a bit clumsy for continuous
writing in a foreign language. Just about all characters with diacritic
marks are
obtainable by striking and letting go of the compose key* and then
typing two characters. For instance, compose ' a gives you á and
compose , c gives you ç. The character can be upper case, as in compose
È. Works for other European languages also: Löffel, Straße. Also, currency
and degree symbols, etc.
*Compose key can be set in Linux as one of the non character keys, like
right-alt, or if you have a Windows keyboard, the right Win key. Check
the keyboard setup in your Linux distro.
