Windows 10: AutoCorrect in French not reliable

DELL Inspiron 15-3576 laptop, running Windows 10 Home (64-bit) v1909, build 18363.720 with “Core i5-8250U” CPU and “Intel UHD Graphics 620” display adapter.
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016, v2002, build 12527.20278 ‘Click-to-Run. Monthly Channel, installed November 2017.

Question: - If I change the language at the bottom of a Word document from ‘English (UK)’ to ‘French (France) and then start to type in French some words will AutoCorrect but a lot will not.
Example - L’ete changes to L’été as it should but menage does not change to ménage ?

If I then do a spell check I am given the option to correct each word but this is laborious. Is there a way to force Word AutoCorrect to work properly or is this a bug which we have to accept?

Thanks.

:)

Hi,

Notepad is a simple text-editing program that allows minimal formatting and limited to simple text entry. Meanwhile, the autocorrect in Windows 10 can be enabled or disabled by following the steps below:

• Type Devices in Cortana search and press Enter.
• Click Typing beside the keyboard icon.

Each program has their own autocorrect features, from Windows built-in applications, web browsers, to installed applications. We suggest that you contact the application support to know more about their features.

Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.
