I appreciate it. Making me nuts with do-overs in the middle of a sentence. Thanks for anyone's help.

I have word 2003 where it is under Tools, then Autocorrect, and uncheck the appropriate box. - nm Lexi

were referring to MS Word. :) In your platform, try to find Tools, or Options in the menu bar at the top? I use DocQScribe, which is now Fluency. There, it is under Tools, then Options, then AutoCorrect. Try to find Tools for your platform. It is probably in there somewhere. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I am much obliged. see inside - OP

This is what I found in the archives, for others who might be needing this info:

"If you are in a report, click control F3, go to local configuration, uncheck the box that says enable capitalization after 2 spaces are typed."

I am very grateful for your speedy reply to my inquiry, even if I did not "Word" it correctly.

Have a lovely day.

A 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 ...

I also use instant text..don't know if there's anything I can do on that end.. ...
