Under Insert, AutoCorrect, AutoCorrect tab, check the box for "Capitalize
first letter of Sentences".
Hope this helps

Thank you, Dean, but I have already done that. I think it lies with the
check box re exceptions, but even there I cannot come right! Deon.

See €śWord does not capitalize the first letter of a sentence€ť at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291538. I believe this is finally corrected
in Word 2007.

The original reason for this change (the failure to capitalize was not
always the case) was apparently the request of some large corporates
(probably law firms) that did not want automatic capitalization at the
beginning of numbered items. Fair enough, but the way this was implemented
resulted in failure to capitalize even after numbers in running text, which
is unexpected and (most of the time) absurd. I guess MS had more complaints
about this than about the previous situation, so they flip-flopped back in
Word 2007.
