As a poet, do you have a problem with MS Word capitalising the first line when you would prefer it to be lower case?
Even though there is no full stop, Word thinks it’s the end of a sentence when the carriage return/line feed key is pressed so it automatically turns the next characcter into a capital.
One way out is to delete the capitalised letter and retype it. Word then realises that this is your intention and doesn’t change it.
This is a bit tedious, though.
To set the system so that it never puts the capital letter in after a new line, change the autocorrect options.
This is done by selecting Tools>Autocorrect from the menu bar and, under the Autocorrect tab, removing the check mark from Capitalise the first letter of sentences.
I'm here to help with those word processing problems which get in the way of your writing. There's plenty of information to download and it's a great place to share ideas. I think you'll find it useful.
Re:capitalisation of letters at beginning of line – there is a 3rd way of dealing with this. Immediately upon the letter being capitalised UNDO will reverse it again and the short cut keys are CTRL+Z or look for undo on the standard toolbar
Thanks for that Linda.
Which way is chosen is depenendent on the way the person works so having different methods is very useful.
