Word font changes to caps as I type
Hi,
When I type a capitalized acronym, such as COBRA, Word 2003 continues to type the following text as capitals as well. In fact, it changes the Format/Font attribute to All Caps, which I then have to uncheck to resume typing standard upper and lower case text. I think this only happens with some acronyms that are also common English words, such as COBRA, FAIR; an acronym like UCLA does not trigger the change to All Caps. I haven't been able to find an AutoCorrect setting relating to this. I've been using Word for years, never encountered this before. What's going on? Thank you. Orrie |

Word font changes to caps as I type
How are you setting Caps? Are you just pressing SHIFT as you type the
acronym? My guess is that you may have the style set to Automatically Update. If not, please tell us the sequence that is causing the caps to lock on. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Orrie" wrote in message ...

Word font changes to caps as I type
I use the Shift key, rather than the Caps Lock, and when I release the
Shift, the next text I type is still in caps. ...may have style set to Automatically Update. Where is that setting? I assume it is in the Normal.dot template, but I couldn't find it on the menus in Word 2003 SP1. Thanks again. Orrie "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... How are you setting Caps?

In the Format Style dialog for whichever style you are using - which I
guess is normal style. Terry "Orrie" wrote in message ...
