remove capitals letters from beginning of line
If you press Enter at the end of a line, you create a new paragraph and Word
will capitalize the next character since Word assumes you are starting a new sentence. Let Word wrap the text - Word will automatically start a new line when the previous line is full. Only press Enter when you want to start a new paragraph. The setting that capitalize letters is "Capitalize first letter of sentences" in Tools AutoCorrect Options AutoCorrect tab.

Word is not a typewriter; it will wrap the lines within a paragraph automatically. Press Enter only at the end of a paragraph. Second, if you can't retrain your fingers, you can go to Tools AutoCorrect Options AutoCorrect and uncheck the box for "Capitalize first letter of sentences". When you press Enter at the end of a line, Word thinks you're starting a new paragraph, which implies that you're starting a new sentence. Tell Word not to be so "helpful", and press the Shift key yourself when you do start a new sentence. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Is this going to be one of those "try using WordPad or NotePad" conversations?

No, Chris, it isn't one of those. And yes, they do make steam come out
