Alternatively, go into Tools AutoCorrect Options, on the AutoCorrect tab,
and uncheck the box for "Capitalize first letter of sentences". Then nothing
will be automatically capitalized, and you'll have to use the Shift key to
capitalize when you want it. (Trained originally as a typist, that's what
I've always done.)

There is no easy way to search for capital letters at the beginning
of a line and replace them with lowercase. You could use Format |
Change Case | Sentence case, but then you'd have to be sure to go
back and recap any proper nouns. It would be much more efficient to
train yourself to use a line break at the end of the line while
typing.

Thanks, Chris, but I am more comfortable with using "Enter" while
I'm typing, and am hoping there is a way to "search & replace" when
I'm finished rather than doing "Shift+enter" while I'm typing....

try using "shift+enter" for manual line breaks WHILE typing. This

I am writing a poem. I used a paragraph mark for the line break,
then did a search and replace and substituted a manual line break
for the paragraph marks, but there are still capital letters at
the beginning of each line. I would like there to only be capital
letters after a period. Is there a way to do this?
