Steve, Thanks so very much for the advice. So far everything is working nicely with your advice. I'd like to thank everyone else who took the time to respond to me. I am subscribed to this list at my home and so could not respond from work. Again, thanks so very much.

To stop JAWS doing this, press Insert + V and go to Language Detect Change which is under Reading Options. On my PC I can press L three times and I'm there. If it's on, press SpaceBar to turn it off. If your documents aren't supposed to be in French, you might want to change a setting in Word so that they are all English. Select a part of all of a document, open the Tools menu, Language submenu and choose Set Language. You'll be in a long list of languages. If nothing is selected, that means more than one language is specified within the text in your selection; if a language is selected that means all the text in your selection is in that language. Choose the language of your choice - and be aware there are lots of options within English!

I'm using JAWS 10. In Word (using Word 2003) my computer suddenly began to speak French at times and English at times. It seems to do this most of the time when I am in a document of a list of names. One name with all of the contact information will be spoken in English and the next name and contact information will be spoken in French. Then the process repeats itself as I go down the list. I went to the JAWS options and also the global settings and my speech synthesizer is set to American English and the language is set at English. Any ideas? I would greatly appreciate your help!
