capitalize after number, at end of sentence

[Snow Bunny]

I work on medical reports. Many times, a sentence will end with a date, like
this:

The patient was seen in consultation on March 20, 2004.

The problem I have is the first letter of the next sentence is never
capitalized unless I press the Shift key:

The patient was seen in consultation on March 20, 2004. he presented as a
....

I would like Word to automatically capitalize the next word, like it does
when a word precedes the period. Is there any setting to have this done
automatically, or is this one of those "flaws" in Word?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

If it can be done at all, it would take major gyrations with VBA.
<-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*->
Hope this helps!
