I'm not at all a big fan of white space and don't hit enter until I am at the
end of a paragraph, usually about 4 or 5 lines for me. That is always before
the start of a new paragraph and I always do capitalize that. The Word urge
to capitalize does happen on lines started by regular word wrap. I don't
quite want to turn off the check grammar feature because I do get useful
suggestions from it that I do appreciate.
I do appreciate that the possibility was worth checking out though. Thanks.

Word wouldn't want to capitalize the first word of every line if it were not
the beginning of a paragraph. It assumes that the beginning of a paragraph
is also the beginning of a sentence. If you don't want to start a new
paragraph, then don't press Enter. Either let the line wrap naturally or, if
you must start a new line before it wraps, use a line break (Shift+Enter)
instead. And if you don't want to see the green squiggles, turn off "Check
grammar as you type."

I have even turned off the "capitalize first word of sentence" to try to
get
rid of this but it is still following me around. There is a green sawtooth
line under the first word of each line. On some docs it is the first word
of
every line that isn't capitalized already, on others it is just a few
random
first words.
When I rt click on it, it wants to capitalize the first word of a
sentence.
And just to add a general comment, this whole word program is just way too
complicated and way more than I need. I spend a lot of time straightening
out
things it wants to do and I don't. I had a Mac and did not fall in love
with
it. It was a bit of a lemon, but one thing I really liked about it was
TextEdit, a simple word processing program that did everything I needed.
When
I did have it, I really did not need word and never even thought of
getting
it.
Pardon the grouch, but it is getting to be a pain.
