Masters in Word please help! Each line starts with capital letter-need to edit! - Mich
Posted: Oct 17, 2014
Hoping there are some masters in Microsoft Word on the board today.
I have a document to edit that was originally a poem, and each line starts with a capital letter, i.e.:
I went to the
Store and bought
Some milk.
I need to go through and lower-case the words in the document that need to be (Store=store, Some=some).
Does anyone know any tips/tricks/shortcuts that will help me do this quicker? I thought of find and replace, but some of the words actually do start a sentence in other parts of the document. Please help this is taking forever.
Thank you,
Mich
Autocorrect - settings

Those settings are on Autocorrect. I
am not looking right at it but I think there's an option for always capitalize that you need to uncheck.
It's already a document though :/ - Mich

Thanks for your reply; however, the text is already in the document like that (for pages and pages). It is my task to edit and make it read normally without the erroneous capitalization. Any other ideas?

Macro to change case - Ed Weber
[ In Reply To ..]
The text editing software on this site is the worst I have ever encountered. It removes all line breaks within pasted text, which makes it useless for VBA code. If you want this macro, email me at ecweber3(at)earthlink(dot)net and I will email it to you.

MS WORD HELP. Will Not Begin Sentence With First Letter In All Caps Anymore, Also The Letter " Dec 20, 2009A few weeks ago, for no reason that I can find, I cannot get the first letter of a sentence to be in all caps automatically, (unless I do it manually.) The same for the letter " I " by itself when typed. It was always automatic and now all of a sudden it is doing this and I cannot figure out how to change it back. Has anybody else had this problem, if so, how did you fix it?
Thanks, appreciate the help ...
Word To The Wise - If Your Work Starts To Trickle Down Sep 19, 2014You'd better be looking very quickly for a new job, because you may all of a sudden find yourself locked out of the system with no warning, no inkling of what's going on at all, no idea there is or was any sort of problem, nothing.
No matter how nice you think your MTSO or manager is, open your eyes if you notice anything amiss at all and do it fast.
Don't keep all your eggs in one basket, I'm very glad I didn't.

Got Letter Saying "not Making Line Count" Aug 18, 2010I just got an e-mail from my supervisor saying this today. I have been having a hard time making 192 lines per hour on SR reports. That is way over what I was hired to do at 127.5 lines per hour. Now they say SR reports are counted as 2/3 of a line, so we should really be doing 192 lines per hour if they are SR reports.
