I'm using Word 97 on XP. I go to Tools | Options | Spelling & Grammar
and turn off everything, and also everything in Writing Style Standard
setting. Now when I type "since 1999" at the beginning of a line, Word
does NOT change "s" to "S". But if I create a table and in the table
cell I type "since 1999", the "s" always changes to "S". How can I turn
off spelling / grammar checking for sentences in a table? Thanks.

In Word, click on Tools | AutoCorrect | AutoCorrect tab | uncheck the
"Capitalize first letter of sentences" box | OK.

To add the Garfield-n-Odie's reply, the Capitalisation has nothing to do
with spelling and grammar: you can turn all those features back on again
once you have turned off the AutoCorrect feature.

And for readers using more recent versions, note that there is a special
AutoCorrect setting for capitalization in tables.

Thanks for everybody's help. I guess I have to upgrade my Word from 97
to a newer version.
