I want Word to stop auto-capitalizing letters after numbers with periods
behind them. Numbers can't be added to the exceptions.
Where I come from we put periods behind the numbers instead of "st"
f.ex. 21st = 21.
This is really getting on my nerves, please tell me there's a way to fix this.

Tools, AutoCorrect options. Turn off the Capitalize first letter of
sentences option.

This is not an issue in recent versions of Word, and a lot of users complain
about that as well.
