Capital Letter in a sentence
When I type a sentence and need a first letter of words capitalized within
the sentence other than the first letter of a sentence Microsoft automatically makes it lower case. How do I stop this from happening. |

Capital Letter in a sentence
Are you saying that you type a capital letter and Word changes to lowercase
or just that it doesn't automatically cap it? The latter is not possible since Word can't know what words need to be capitalized (unless they're spelling errors when lowercased); if the former, then something weird is definitely going on. -- Suzanne S.

WEIRD YES !!
If I type: "When I went to the Department store" the "D" in department will automatically turn into a lowercase letter. "Suzanne S.

The only thing I can suggest is to see if there is an AutoCorrect entry for
Department department. (Although, in your example, "department store" *should* be lowercased.) -- Suzanne S.

I appreciate it. I was just using "Department" as and example.
Guess I will just have to live with it. I figured that I could change it in a setting as it did not happen untill I received a new computer. "Suzanne S.

Well, if you notice a particular pattern, do check for stray AutoCorrect
entries. -- Suzanne S.

Immediately after you see the change, hover your mouse over the lowercase
letter and then click the AutoCorrect Options button that displays. The list of options should give you a clue as to why the letter is converting to lowercase. If you don't see the button then what version of Word are you using? You can also check the Undo list (click the arrow next to the Undo button) and see if it helps you figure out what is causing the issue to occur. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
