Thanks! I have never thought of this problem before, but now I'm making a
template with numbered headings and numbered lists, and the person who
ordered it wants initial capitalization for all the numbered headings and
numbered lists. I guess that I just have to tell him that it can’t be set
automatically.

Word used to capitalize the first letter of numbered lists, but apparently
there were a lot of (vocal) users who didn't want this (in many legal
applications, there are lists of numbered items that are NOT capitalized),
so the default was changed. Unfortunately, this also affects beginnings of
sentences in running text: Word doesn't capitalize after a sentence that
ends in a number, either--very maddening when you have gotten spoiled by
AutoCorrect!
