Default Auto-capitalizing the first word of a sentence/line

How can I turn this off? If I type a lower case letter as the
first letter of a sentence, I want it to stay that way. This
typically applies to technical docs especially with source code.
For example, if I type

std::string s;

I DON'T want Word to change it to:

Std::string s;

Thanks,
- Arnie

This is under Tools, Options, AutoCorrect: just clear the check box for
Capitalise the first word of a new sentence. Alternatively, if you only
input like this occasionally, you can use the Undo command (Ctrl+Z) as soon
as it happens.

Thanks TF. I'd say the UI isn't too well organized. Naturally,
I looked under Tools-Options. Tools-Autocorrect Options wasn't
visible until the collapsed menu expanded. Oh well, I learn
something every day ;-)

You need to right-click on any toolbar and select Customize. One of the
options is to SHOW FULL MENUs. The adaptive menu is one of the first items
to turn off after installation!
