Auto Format - capitalization of 1st word in sentence
When I end a sentence with a number (i.e., "My dog is 2."), I cannot get Word
to automatically capitalize the first word of the next sentence. How can I fix this? |

You can't; but, you can fix your writing. Try using the word "two" instead
of the number. Also, don't depend on Word's automatic capitalization (or other autocorrect - error-correcting features) or your writing in other contexts will suffer. Word is built to assume that a number followed by a period is some sort of reference number, not necessarily the end of a sentence. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
