How to make a word start with a Capital letter when dictating?
Please tell me how to specify that the next word should start with a Capital
letter while I am dictating in Word 2003. Help is silent on the issue, so is the Knowledgebase.

How to make a word start with a Capital letter when dictating?
This is a question, not a suggestion. Have you tried dictating the word
"Caps" or "Capital"? I can't find anything in the Help files to suggest that this would work, but it's worth a try. I suspect that Word will capitalize automatically at the beginning of a sentence (that is, after you've dictated a period or "dot") and will capitalize words that you've entered in its vocabulary as proper nouns. Beyond that, you may have to do this manually when you go back to edit your dictation. -- Suzanne S.

Dear Suzanne
Dictating the word "Caps" or "Capital" does not work. Yes, Word will capitalize automatically at the beginning of a sentence and proper nouns. I frequently capitalize words in my work (the names of Access Forms and Reports in a Specification, for example) and having to then "voice command, select word, format, change case, initial caps, OK, dictation" is a royal pain in the you-know-where and really reduces the value of dictation! How about this as a suggestion for Office 2019? (I know Microsoft are not quick responders!) |

I'll escalate this request. I agree that the currently required method is
extremely clumsy. -- Suzanne S.
