Quick Computer Question

[sevens one]

When I am composing an email or word document the first letter in
every line gets capitalized. I''m sure it''s some quick setting I have to change
but I can''t figure it out.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Please? Thanks

I would think just go to settings, and see if that''s the culprit. It should be pretty self-explanatory from there, but if not come back and let us know.

I looked around and had no luck.
I''m just not sure what to change.
It''s so annoying and I''m sure it''s something simple.
thanks

now I have even tried the "change case" setting and put it to
sentence case, or lower case- but it keeps resetting it to Capital case. UGH

Once you've hit the return key or put in a full stop Word assumes you're starting a new sentence and that the first letter should be capitalised. In your email you should be able to change your settings to stop the Word check function and then the words will appear exactly as you type. You'll lose the automatic spell checking and grammer checking though. I don't know what to do about it in Word. I always just go back and change the letter to a small character but you have to finish typing the word and put a space after it before you go back and change it, or else it'll just change it back to the capital again as soon as you hit the space bar!

Maybe someone will have a magic solution to this as it's actually something that bugs me too!

In word there should be an Autocorrect tab. When you select that there should be a menu of various check boxes you can tick on and off, including Capitalize first letter of sentences. See if you can find it and ''uncheck'' it.

I''m not sure if that then applies to all sentances, try it and see if it does.

I wonder would this work sevens_one:

- Tools

- Spelling and Grammar

- Options (at the bottom of the window)

- Settings (under the Writing Style drop down window - mine says ''grammar only'')

- Then uncheck ''Capitalisation''

This will stop Word from checking your typing for capitals. You''ll just have to be careful about when you need capitals for other things.
