MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / January 2004Every new line on screen starts with a capital letter
In Word, we have a couple of users that are seeing something really weird. When they are typing a document, and they get to the end of a line, when Word wraps to the next line, it always capitalizes the first word by default. It can be in the middle of a sentence, but it will still capitalize it. When we correct it, the dumb autocorrect automatically recapitalizes it. Anyone ever seen this before? I have never seen Word do this except after a paragraph break. Are you sure users are not pressing Enter at the end of every line instead of letting text wrap naturally? -- Suzanne S.

No, the trainer WATCHED them type in the document, and they did NOT push ENTER after each line. Weird, huh? >-----Original Message----- >I have never seen Word do this except after a paragraph break.

You have the option "Capitalize first letter of sentences" checked in Tools > AutoCorrect. When you hit Enter at the end of a line, you're starting a new paragraph, so Word assumes you're also starting a new sentence (because sentences never extend across two paragraphs). Learn to start a new paragraph only when you really mean it, and Word will treat you right. >In Word, we have a couple of users that are seeing >something really weird.
