And by the way, Word does not incorporate an expert system to answer
questions about grammar. It merely highlights some things it thinks are
wrong -- and unfortunately it's often wrong about that!

It's not now a sentence as you combined it, so no. Just capitalise the
beginning of the first part.

I was just trying to figure out a simple grammar question and could not
find
a way to ask Word 2003 my question. My question is simply:

When I've combined two sentences with a semi-colon, is it proper to
capitalize the first word of the second sentence or not?
