Look in Tools | AutoCorrect to see if there is an entry set up for it.
Are you suggesting it is a day name in some other language? In that case, if you have automatic language detection turned on, Word 2003 might be trying to help you out. After this happens, put the cursor in the word and go to Tools | Language and see what language comes up selected.

But that couldn't possibly be the reason why Word is capitalizing it. (Could it?) -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |

AutoCorrect is definitely language-dependent--it seems conceivable that cuma to Cuma is a default entry for Turkish and that Word is recognizing the word as Turkish and changing it. I'm just guessing though. Just to complicate this--my MacWord 2004 does not have auto lang detection, and does not auto-capitalize Cuma. But for some reason my Office suite email program (Entourage) does, though it is not a defined entry. I didn't think Entourage had auto lang detection either, though, so there may be something else entirely going on. -- Daiya Mitchell, MVP Mac/Word Word FAQ: http://www.word.mvps.org/ MacWord Tips: http://www.word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/ What's an MVP?

One of the AutoCorrect options is to automatically capitalize days of
the week. It works, but you may get more than you bargained for. If you happen to type the words for days of the week in a foreign language, AutoCorrect will capitalize them, even though there are no (visible) AutoCorrect entries for them, and even though automatic language recognition is off. For example, it will capitalize Turkish day names; Pazar (Market Day, Sunday), Pazartesi (After Market Day, Monday), Sali (Tuesday), Çarsamba (Four days after Sabbath, Wednesday), Persembe (Five days after Sabbath, Thursday), Cuma (Reunion Day, Friday), Cumartesi (After Reunion Day, Saturday). (The "s" in Çarsamba and Persembe and the "C" in Çarsamba should have a cedille under them; this may not come through in all newreaders.) It will also capitalize day names in German, and probably in many other languages. It will not capitalize French day names, because that is not the custom in France. If you happen to know day names in other languages, you can amuse yourself by trying them out. This is probably a bug caused by a feature. If Microsoft had just put the day names in the default AutoCorrect lists for each language, this problem would not occur. When they decided to have a separate check box for capitalizing day names, some unknown programmer took the easy way out and just made one big (hidden) list instead of doing it per-language.
