How do I stop Word from starting new words with capital after numb
When I write a date (eg 30. august) Word automatically changes the first
letter after the period into a capital. This is very good if you are english, but i danish months are not written with capitals. I don't want to turn the autocorrect function for first words in sentences - only when it's following a number. It was possible in earlier editions of Word, but when I try to add an exception for a number, the "add" button stays grey. Only if I write letters can I add it. Anyone know how to work around this?

Turn off the relevant capitalization options on the AutoCorrect tab of the
AutoCorrect dialog box. To open the dialog box: - In Word 2007, click the Office button, and then click Word Options. In the Proofing category, click the AutoCorrect Options button. - In Word 2003, click Tools | AutoCorrect Options. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Rune Wentzel Helms" wrote in message ...

Only in Word 2007 or much earlier versions will this be necessary. Word does
not capitalize the first letter of a sentence following a number in Word 2003 or seveeral earlier versions. -- Suzanne S.

How do I stop Word from starting new words with capital after numb
Thank you for the clarification.
FWIW, I don't pay much attention to the capitalization options, probably because I turn them off as soon as I have installed a new version of Word. I find them annoying rather than helpful. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Only in Word 2007 or much earlier versions will this be necessary.

How do I stop Word from starting new words with capital after numb
I've actually gotten lazy enough to rely on them to some extent. I turn off
the "first letter of a sentence" one when I'm working on a dictionary-type document (or anything else that requires a lot of uncapped paragraph starts), but I find I miss it in the other documents I'm working on at the same time. -- Suzanne S.

I only make use of "Correct TWo INitial CApitals" (and "Correct accidental
usage of cAPS LOCK key"). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... I've actually gotten lazy enough to rely on them to some extent.

How do I stop Word from starting new words with capital after
Excactly. But as my workplace use Word 2007 I have no choice in version.
However I take it, there is no workaround for this problem? - as I said I don't want to turn off the capitalization option completely. - Rune Helms "Suzanne S.

How do I stop Word from starting new words with capital after
The issue is not that Word capitalises after a number (which it still
doesn't appear to) but that it capitalises after a full stop (period) as in your original example. You have a number of options, but the simplest by far is to insert dates using a macro e.g. Sub InsertLowerCaseDate() With Selection .InsertAfter LCase(Format(Date, Format:="d" & "." & Chr(160) & _ "MMMM" & Chr(160) & "yyyy")) End With End Sub Then the prohblem doesn't arise. http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm See also http://www.gmayor.com/popup_calendar.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Rune Wentzel Helms wrote: Excactly.

I would have thought that the Danish version of Word would have some
compensation for this since it is clearly a very common scenario. I suppose that 1., 2., 3., etc., could be entered as Exceptions. -- Suzanne S.
