AbiWord should use your AppleSpell dictionaries and the french
dictionaries should not be necessary. You can use "Set Language" under
the Tools menu with your document selected in order to set it for French
spell checking.

You will need to edit your normal.abt - search the list archives for
information how to do this. I do not use a Mac, so I do not know where
the normal.abt should be placed on that system.

Hope this helps!
