After an enter or a full stop, MS-Word will auto-capitalize the next word. This is really annoying when you're writing technical documentation with lots of code, field names etc. How do I turn it off?

I'm using Word 2003, but answers for any version of word will probably be useful for other people.

It's under your AutoCorrect settings for Word 2003

Selecting/Deselecting AutoCorrect Options

  • From the Tools menu, select AutoCorrect Options...

    The AutoCorrect dialog box appears.

  • Select the AutoCorrect tab

    The AutoCorrect options are preceded by checkboxes.

  • Click the checkboxes for the options you want to activate

    alt text

    NOTE: A checkmark in the box indicates an option is selected and active.

  • Click OK

Here's how to do it in Word 2007

Note that the screenshot doesn't have circles on the correct option, though, since it's most likely the "Capitalize first letter of sentences", that he wants to uncheck. – Gnoupi Feb 8 '10 at 10:52
This any better? – Ivo Flipse♦ Feb 8 '10 at 11:13
Thanks, I was looking in the Options dialog instead of the Autocorrect options ... – codeulike Feb 8 '10 at 11:17
