auto capitalization

will

In office 2002 I have checked all the right boxes in Tools, Auto-Correct to
make the first letter of a sentence capital. Nothing works. My email editor
is Word and auto capitalization works when I open a Word doc. Any suggestions?

What message format do you use? Does it work if you use plain text?

Thanks. I changed to plain text and it works. Is there any advantage to one
or the other?

It works with plain text. Is it ok to use plain text?

Sure... it's ok to use plain text. It just means you can't send "pretty"
email - but 99% of the html messages sent don't use any formatting anyway.
There are a large number of people who prefer to receive plain text.

Are you sure you have word set as the editor? Autocorrect works with 2003
correctly when word is the editor, but not with OL editor. I thought it was
the same with 2002.

Diane, When I go to tools, options and mail format I am unable to check the
microsoft as my email editor box. It is greyed out. So consequently my
spelling errors in my emails are not underlined. Any suggestions?

Are you using the same version of Outlook and Word? The versions need to
match to use word as the editor (and other office envelope features).
