Auto Capilization
I have a situation with Auto Capilization in Word. Whenever I type in a
sentence and finish it with a period, I begin the next sentence and the word does not capitalize. I have un-checked the box that indicates to add the word to the exception list and also the word(s) are not part of the exception list. Yet it still does not capitalize after the aforementioned criterias have been met. Please if anyone at Microsoft can assist me with this your help will be greatly appreciated. |

Auto Capilization
In your AutoCorrect options (found in different places in different
versions of Word), is "Capitalize first letter of sentences" checked? Note that if it is, Word will also capitalize a word after an abbreviation ending with a period (full stop), which is often not wanted, so it makes sense to simply press Shift when you need a capital letter.

Auto Capilization
IMO, it makes more sense to check the "Capitalize first letter of
sentences" option and place those words/abbreviations that end with a period in the AutoCorrect Exceptions list. Words or abbreviations that include periods are used far less in a document than the first letter of sentences. Let Word do the work for you as intended. Cheryl On Sep 3, 1:45*pm, "Peter T.

Auto Capilization
The client that I am dealing with is very persnickety. They specifically
want that whenever they end a sentence, 100% fof the time, that the following sentence begins with a capitalized letter. Okay, I have un-checked the option to "Automatically add words to list" and also verified that the words that he is typing with a period are not on the list. An example of this would be as follows: If the client types in, "Where do I know where I"m." The new sentence does not start with a capital letter.

Auto Capilization
Word does not capitalize automatically when a sentence ends with a number or
when a period (or exclamation point or question mark) is followed by other punctuation, such as quotation marks. That is just the way Word works. There is no way (short of a complex macro) to get around this. If you're typing for the client, then you will have to use the Shift key. If it is the client who is typing, then he will have to accept that he has to use the Shift key. The example you quoted doesn't seem to be a sentence, but Word should not know this, and if the example does not include the quotation marks, then Word should be capitalizing. If it does include the quotation marks, then Word will not. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "w4ntt0l34rn" wrote in message ...

Auto Capilization
That is the problem that Word is not capitalizing the first word of the next
sentence. I went ahead tried it again and noticed that the word "I'm" is actually a autocorrect word. In other words if my client types in: I"m then word will autocorrect to the correct form I'm. In any case if there are other options or procedures that I am not aware of then please let tme know. "Suzanne S.
