first letter cap ??
My 84 year young mother-in-law has started using Word 2k.
When she types a letter the first letter of each sentence is auto capitalize and she doesn't want this. I take it there is a setting for this but can't find it. Suggestions, L. |

Tell your mother-in-law to click the Tools menu, select AutoCorrect from the dropdown, and clear the checkbox labeled "Capitalize first letter of sentences". Then click OK, and the behavior will stop. There are lots of other settings in that dialog that many people dislike. Read the page at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/TameAutoFormat.htm for a discussion of what to turn off. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Tools | AutoCorrect: "Capitalize first letter of sentences." But I'll bet
the reason your MIL objects is that she's pressing Enter at the end of every line. Send her to http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/conc...ion/index.html -- Suzanne S.

Sounds like she has Format, Change Case, Sentence Case turned on.
