Default wants to capitalize the first letter in the first word of ever

You really should not be getting that AutoCorrect or grammar hints if you're
letting lines wrap naturally. If you are, then this is a bug that should be
reported and investigated.

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

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.
