first letter in a new line capitalized
When I use Word, the first letter of a new line changes automatically to a
capital letter. How do I turn this off? i.e. I had nothing but nice things to Say about Microsoft. The word SAY is capitalized at the beginning and I can't find where to change it. Thanks for a reply |

first letter in a new line capitalized
Word is not a typewriter! You need to stop pressing enter at the end of each
line. Word will wrap the text for you and the problem will then not arise. The capitalization is set from tools autocorrect options capitalize first letter of sentences. A new paragraph (which is what you get when you press enter) will always start with a new sentence. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org pdgold wrote: When I use Word, the first letter of a new line changes automatically to a capital letter.

first letter in a new line capitalized
If you press Enter at the end of a line, you create a new paragraph and Word
will capitalize the next character since Word assumes you are starting a new sentence. Let Word wrap the text - Word will automatically start a new line when the previous line is full. Only press Enter when you want to start a new paragraph. The setting that capitalize letters is "Capitalize first letter of sentences" in Tools AutoCorrect Options AutoCorrect tab.

first letter in a new line capitalized
And, if you really do want to force a word to be on a new line without it
being capitalized, use Shift+Enter to insert a line break. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
