>write a word and get it in french
If you have Word 2003, Alt+click the word and use the Translate link
on the Research task pane.
If you don't have 2003, use one of the online translators such as
http://www.worldlingo.com/en/products_services/worldlingo_translator.html
or http://babelfish.altavista.com.
