Hey,
Does anyone know how to kill this feature? I want to stop the software from automatically capitalizing the first letter of a sentence when I hit ENTER and start a new line. I just want it to stay lowercase like I actually typed it!

I'm talking specifically about Office 2003, specifically Word 2003, though the fix might work for any of them.

Thanks!

I'm specifically talking about Office 2003—specifically Word 2003—but honestly, does this work for any other program too?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you can only disable that on a sentence-by-sentence basis. See, the software thinks every time you hit enter for a new paragraph, you're starting a brand new sentence. But here's the catch: if you shut that setting off, it won't auto-capitalize *anything* at the start of a sentence anymore, so you'll have to manually fix every single one yourself.

Just realized in the meantime—if anyone actually needs this—check out the autocorrect options in the tools menu!!!

Fair enough, but look—it just means, like I was saying before, that you might end up with a lowercase first letter at the start of a sentence instead of an entire paragraph being messed up.

So, you're still gonna have to stay on top of things and make sure you're actually starting every single sentence with a capital letter yourself.

Yeah, I saw it, but I couldn't care less about it.
