I would like to see the "option" of being able to automatically capitalize
the first word in each sentence after ending the previous sentence with a
numeral.  I work for orthopaedic surgeons and a lot of my sentences end in,
for example, L4-L5.  After becoming accustomed to this with Word 97, it's
hard to remember to capitalize those.  Also, I used to be able to type 79yog,
and using Auto Correct, it translated to 79-year-old gentleman.  I now have
to put a space after 79 and just have yog transfer to year-old gentleman,
which leaves a space after 79 - so it translates to
79 -year-old gentleman.  

Please make these options available in Word again.

Thanks, Terry Lagnston

If you create an autocorrect of yog to be replaced by year-old gentleman
(without the hyphen) and then you type 79-yog, you will get 79-year-old
gentleman.
