LOL suzanne,
yes, you are right. they didn't call it a bug, but i do.
i don't think that's being lazy, just lack of consistency <smile>.
i have tried to use features like numbered lists and the feature that would
renumber the figure numbers in a technical document <i think it's called
caption>,
but for whatever reason, i could never get it to work,
so i switched to framemaker for users guides.
it took a while to learn, but the features i need the most, actually work in
framemaker - go figure!

: Well, you didn't see MS call it a "bug," did you? They claim it is by
: design; unfortunately, the design got out of hand (it was intended just
for
: numbered lists, which some people don't want capitalized) but spilled over
: into regular paragraph text. I don't know of anyone who doesn't find it
: annoying, but that's just a symptom of how spoiled we've become. The
: "workaround" is to get up off our lazy butts and use one of the two
: convenient Shift keys. <g>
