continue sentence on next without caps on first letter

[munschkin]

Word 2003-when I continue my sentence on the next line and hit the space bar
the first letter of that carry over line turns to a capital. How do I keep
it from changing to a capital.

 

[Jay Freedman]

Don't press Enter at the end of any line except at the end of a
paragraph. Just let Word wrap the lines within paragraphs
automatically.

The capitalization is the result of the option in Tools > AutoCorrect
Options for "Capitalize first letter of sentences". When you press
Enter, you're starting a new paragraph, and Word assumes that the
start of a paragraph is also the start of a sentence.

You can turn off that option, but it would be much better to train
yourself not to press Enter at the end of each line.
