Hi there,

I am having a wierd issue with the Auto Capitalization in outlook
2003.
I am using word as the email editor, and have "capitalize first letter
of sentences" enabled under tools-options-spelling-auto correct.
I have tried with rich text, plain text and html and it is just not
capitalizing.

The ONLY time i can get it to capitalize is if i diable " use word as
editor" and select rich text, but this does not underline spelling and
grammar so is not an option.

I have installed all the service packs and updates.
Repaired and re-installed office.
It works flawlessly on other pc's in the office.

Im stumped.

Any MS boffs out there care to comment, PLease?

Shawn

hi, Shawn & Diane --

I'm having the opposite problem.

Office 2003; Outlook using Word as editor.

I have Autocorrect options all turned off, both in Word AND Outlook. When
in Word, the first character in a line is NOT capitalized, which is the way I
want it. In Outlook, the &*!!^%$#@!! software insists on capitalizing the
first character.

I've tried toggling the setting back and forth in Word and Outlook, but it
keeps on doing it.

Every time I write an email, I curse this software. I'm a control freak. I
turn off all spelling, grammar, and automatic formatting. When I want
something, I'll do it myself. I hate software which tries to anticipate my
intent. This is driving me up the wall.

Oh, yeah ... e.e. cummings is rolling around in his grave.

Thanks,
John

dear john:

well, here it is 2010, and still no real solution in sight

but this is the best workaround around:

use Shift+Return instead of Return for each new line
(of course, this won't take care of the first line, so
for that use Ctrl+Z (undo))
