SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Word may capitalize the first letter of inserted AutoCorrect text
if the inserted text starts a sentence.
CAUSE
The "Capitalize first letter of sentences" option is turned on by default
in Microsoft Word.
WORKAROUND
To avoid this behavior, use one of the following methods.
Method 1: Press CTRL+Z to Undo the AutoCorrect Formatting
Immediately after Microsoft Word capitalizes the AutoCorrect entry, press
CTRL+Z. Word will undo the capitalization.
Method 2: Clear the "Capitalize first letter of sentences" Check Box
On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect, and then click to clear the
"Capitalize first letter of sentences" check box.
NOTE: This permanently disables the "Capitalize first letter of sentences" function until it is turned on again.
MORE INFORMATION
When you have created an AutoCorrect entry that begins with a lowercase
letter, Microsoft Word may capitalize the first character when the
AutoCorrect text begins a new sentence.
