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.

Rudy
