Word won't let me use lower case on the first line of a document I am
revising. Why nbot?

It's probably an All Caps or Small Caps font format that's part of the style
applied to that paragraph. With the cursor in that paragraph, press Shift+F1 and
examine the formatting applied there.

It could also be one of the AutoFormat As You Type options, "Built-in Heading
styles", if the heading style includes All Caps or Small Caps. See

If you mean the first letter of the line, then that would be because it's
the beginning of a paragraph, which Word assumes is the beginning of a
sentence, and that is governed by the "Capitalize first letter of sentences"
option in Tools | AutoCorrect Options.
