Default Stop making first letter of each line a capital

When you press Enter at the end of a line, it makes a new paragraph, so Word
assumes that the next character begins a new sentence. If you don't really
mean to start a new paragraph, then don't press Enter. Just let Word wrap
the text naturally.

If you're making a list where you do want a new paragraph for each line, but
you don't want it capitalized, then go to Tools AutoCorrect Options and
uncheck "Capitalize first letter of sentences".

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TameAutoFormat.htm for more help.
