The French AutoCorrect list is not updated as expected
After you install the update, the AutoCorrect list may not be updated as expected. The AutoCorrect list is stored on the computer as two separate files. The mso.acl file contains the base word list. The mso1036.acl file contains the words that you added to the AutoCorrect list. When you install the update, the mso.acl file is updated. However, to avoid possible data loss, the mso1036.acl file is not updated.
To update the AutoCorrect list, use one of the following methods, depending on your situation.
If you have not made custom entries to the AutoCorrect list, rename the mso1036.acl fileTo do this, follow these steps.

drive:\ Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Microsoft\Office

Rename the mso1036.acl file to mso1036.old.
Note The previous steps must be followed by each user on the computer.
