Auto sentence capitalization
My question concerns the Word function that automatically capitalizes
the first letters of sentences. Since I do a lot of typing, i rarely capitalize the first word of a sentence since I know Word is going to do it for me. However, when I end a sentence with a number, it does not capitalize the following sentence. There must be an "ignore" function somewhere for instances such as this. Can anyone give me some directions in how to do this? I'd also like to thank the group for answering my other questions and for the info I've picked up in here. |

Auto sentence capitalization
That is the way it is. You can run this macro to correct the
capitalization: Sub ScratchMacro() Dim oRng As Word.Range Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range ActiveDocument.Range(0, 0).Select With oRng.Find .ClearFormatting .Text = "([0-9]. {1,})[a-z]" .MatchWildcards = True While .Execute oRng = Left(oRng, Len(oRng) - 1) & UCase(oRng.Characters.Last) oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd Wend End With End Sub -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word. tomrobroy wrote: My question concerns the Word function that automatically capitalizes the first letters of sentences.
