There are many words in French and English which are the same, so one might get many false changes if one used a dictionary of candidate words. In my own work, when writing, I select all foreign words as I write them, amd use Character Style "quotation" which turns them into italic (by its default definition). I have found this useful, as in the case of some fonts the italic type is unpleasantly small on the line when I am setting in 10.5 pts (I suspect it is being reduced to 10 pts although telling me it is 10.5). I just change the Character Style "quotation" to use 11pts and the page looks better. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie>
