Tools...autocorrect... uncheck capitalize first letter of sentences.
(Word2k).
There's treasure trove of other MS 'goodies' you can disable as well.

Subject: [thelist] OT Microsoft Word is driving me insane
To type a poem, I use the Enter/Return key to start a new line, right?
here's a sample poem
notice it has three text lines
not a cap in sight
So why does Word insist on capitalizing the first letter of each line? (That
was a
rhetorical question; I
know the answer -- Microsoft is trying to, ahem, *help* me.)
My question is: how do I turn this off?
The friggin paper clip is no use. I've been all through all the bloody
options and tools
and properties
and so on. Nada. At least, I couldn't find it.
I have discovered that I can highlight entire blocks of text and change
everything to
lowercase, but
that's not what I'm looking for. I just want it not to touch the first
character on the
line.
I owe a tip, but I believe I have a few stockpiled.
