It is not. Separate 2 complete sentences basically in one of three ways:

1. A period at the end of the first sentence and a capital letter at the
beginning of the second sentence. (I like dessert. Apple pie is my
favorite.)
2. A semicolon at the end of the first sentence and a lower case letter at
the beginning of the second sentence. (I like dessert; apple pie is my
favorite.)
3. A comma and a conjunction between the sentences. (I like dessert, and
apple pie is my favorite.)

I was just trying to figure out a simple grammar question and could not
find
a way to ask Word 2003 my question. My question is simply:

When I've combined two sentences with a semi-colon, is it proper to
capitalize the first word of the second sentence or not?
