my spell check is underlining the first word in each line irregardless of its
not being the beginning of a sentence. It is not underlining words that are
properly capitalized at the beginning of the line. What do I need to do to
correct this?

Becicat,

I suspect that you have Captitalize the first letter of sentences turned of
in your AutoCorrect settings and it is your grammar check marking your
oversight capitalizing the first letter of a sentence.

To correct, you probably need to stop pressing the enter key when you reach
the end of a line. Word is not a typewriter. The enter key is not a
carraige return. It is a command key that instructs Word to start a new
paragprahp. Since new paragraphs start with sentences the sentence must
start with a capital letter or be flagged by the grammar checker.

Hi, Becicat;
How are you going from one line to the next when typing? Ar you letting word
wrap handle it, or are you pressing enter? The latter starts a new paragraph,
with an initial capital by default.

IanRoy.

No, I am not hitting the enter key. Word wrap is working.

I'm not pressing the enter key at the end of the sentence...it automatically
goes to the nextline when hitting the right margin.

I also don't have "capitalize the first word in sentence."

Becicat,

I was presumtuous to assume that you were doing something wrong. I'm sorry.

Is it the red wavy line or a green wavy line that is appearing under the
Word?

Hi, Becicat;
Sorry for my hasty assumption. I've fiddled around with my settings and I
can't get my copy of Word to behave as you describe. I also couldn't find
anything on the knowledge base.

Dear Greg,

It's a green wavy line.

Dear Ian,

It doesn't do it consistantly...I just got my computer back from the shop
less than a week ago. Who knows.

Thanks,

Becicat,

The green wavy line is a grammar check tag and the symptom is a inproperly
capitalized sentence. If you display non printing characters CTRL+Shift+*
does a paragraph mark appear at the end of the line immediately preceeding
the word flagged with the green line?

Use the measures described at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm to reset Word to
defaults. There is probably a minor corruption in either normal.dot or more
likely the registry key that controls the options in question.
