Exception to AutoCorrect capitalization rule
I'm working on a software application user's manual where there are some
trademark names that begin with lower case letters, e.g., intelliWall. I've tried to avoid using the trademarks as the first word in any sentence as it looks strange to me, but there are instances where it's not practical to start the sentence with anything else. I'm trying to figure out how to configure an exception to the Word 2007 AutoCorrect rules for capitalizing the first letter of a sentence. Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA Ken |

Exception to AutoCorrect capitalization rule
Begin your Replace word with a semicolon and AutoCorrect will back up
and change the cap to lowercase at the beginning of the sentence. For example: Type ;int to expand to intelliWall Cheryl On Sep 17, 6:05*am, Ken Warthen wrote: I'm working on a software application user's manual where there are some trademark names that begin with lower case letters, e.g., intelliWall. *I've tried to avoid using the trademarks as the first word in any sentence as it looks strange to me, but there are instances where it's not practical to start the sentence with anything else. *I'm trying to figure out how to configure an exception to the Word 2007 AutoCorrect rules for capitalizing the first letter of a sentence. *Any help will be greatly appreciated. *TIA Ken |

Cheryl,
I appreciate your help, but I'm a little confused. Is this not an initial Caps issues? Most of the documentation is complete. It's when I run spell check or am involved in other editing issues that Word tries to change intelliWall to IntelliWall if it's the first word in a sentence.

You need to add "intelliWall" to the custom dictionary. If that word
is typed with a capital I or no capital W, spell check will flag it incorrect with a red squiggly underline. If you have both grammar options checked, intelliWall will be flagged with a green squiggly underline because of no cap at the beginning of the sentence. You can choose to ignore all during your spell check.

Cheryl,
Thanks for the information. I typically have both spelling and grammar checked as defaults in my documents, so I am getting the green squiggly line.
