Autocorrect

[drew halevy]

I have a problem that is driving me nuts, since it is creating a lot more
work for me. I am writing a test for my high school students. I have turned
off Tools>AutoCorrect>Capitalize first letter of sentences.

The reason I have done this is I create a table. It starts with a sentence
("The reason why x happened is because") and then the next rows have the
answer. The problem as I start a new sentence, I don't want it capitalized,
since the first row and then the row with the correct answer will be one
sentence.

Even thought I have turned off capitalize first letter, it is still doing it
on each line, which means I have to go back and reset it to a lower case
letter. This is very, very annoying. It only seems to happen in the table.
Is there a second "autocorrect" for tables, and if so, how do I turn that
once off? Anyone have an idea about what I am missing? Thanks in Advance!

There *is* a second AutoCorrect setting for tables. Unfortunately, they
forgot to totally build it into the program.

In a table, hover over the auto-capitalized first letter until a blue
line appears. Slide the mouse down to make the blue line sprout a
little clipboard with yellow lightning bolt. Click on the clipboard and
select the option that best corresponds to "don't do this ever again".

Because they forgot to build this in, it's tricky to turn back on after
turning off--I think you have to delete your preferences file to wipe
the setting, though there might be a code way to turn it back on.

Glad to help. Someone else first posed the question and solved the
problem, though, I'm just passing the word along.
