Even with the appropriate AutoCorrect options set, Word will not capitalize
after numbers. This is (IMO) a bug, but see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291538

If you're finding that Word consistently doesn't capitalize after Q. or A.,
check the Exceptions for this correction. You may find a lot of unintended
exceptions; the solution to this is to disable "Automatically add words to
list" (and remove the ones you didn't mean to add).

Used Wordperfect before. First word of a sentence always capitalized
automatically. Very frustrating that word doesn't do this. I type Q. or
A.
and the only way to get the next word capitalized is the shift key. Is
there
any way around this so it will do it automatically?
