Default wants to capitalize the first letter in the first word of every li

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.
