Don't tell me things like that! I'll have bad dreams and won't get my beauty
sleep. (And believe me, I need it.)

You should have seen the document I got that not only was manually
double-spaced (Enter pressed twice at the end of every line) but had lines
not only indented but also centered using spaces. Etc.

Yes, there is a way to stop Word from starting every new line with a
capital
letter. To to Tools - Auto Correct Options, and on the tab that says Auto
Correct, unselect the box for "Start each sentence with a capital letter."

However, Jezebel is correct. A modern word processor is NOT just a fancy
typewriter. Word processors have a feature called word wrapping. The
program knows where the margins are, and it will automatically wrap the
words
to the next line for you. You do not need (or even want) to hit a
"carriage
return" at the end of every line.

Word wrap will allow you to go back and revise something you wrote
yesterday, without having to adjust the lines. As an editor, there are
very
few things I hate worse than trying to edit something that has a hard
return
at the end of every line. (Unless maybe it's working on a document that
uses
spaces to indent text.)
