Microsoft Word - Tables
Why is the first letter of each word in a table cell capitalized?
In MSWord, after I create a table by using Table, Insert, Table, and then selecting the number of rows and cells for the table, I am prepared to type within it. When I type in lowercase and then tab to the next cell, the first letter of the word in the prior tab automatically becomes a capital letter. This happens for each subsequent cell. My caps lock is not nor am I doing anything other than typing. Anyone have any suggestions? |

Word is assuming that the first word typed into a cell is the first word in
a paragraph and is therefore capitalizing the first letter. You can turn off that feature for text in the cells of a table while retaining it for sentences by selecting AutoCorrect from the Tools menu and then going to the AutoCorrect tab and unchecking the box for "Capitalize first letter of table cells". -- Hope this helps.
