capitalise the first word of a sentence

[terryf]

WORD 2003 automatically capitalises the first word of a sentence, how do I make Word 2008 do the same thing?

Hello Terry,

Most people, in previous versions of Word on the Mac, want to get rid of it!
;-)

In Word 2004 it's under Tools menu => AutoCorrect; I expect it's probably
the same in Word 2008.

Cheers,

It is. And you can even access it through Word>Preferences, AutoCorrect.

Change all letters to capital letters

If this was a question, I did not understand it.

If it was an answer, it is wrong

in word 2004 if I have type a period then a space and then type a word a
blue line pops up then a sound then the first letter is changed from
lower to upper case without my doing anything. It has to do with how
auto-correct is setup. if you have checked always capitalize first word
in sentence or ever how its written checked it will automatically
capitalize the first word.

If it's "fixed", don't "break it"!
