First Letter of Newline is Capitalized

[Claude V. Lucas]

Entourage 2008.

First letter of every new line is automagically capitalized for no apparent reason.

How do I turn that off?

I thought I *did* turn it off somewhere, once, but it's happening again.


TIA

Thanks much.

Odd that it caps the first letter of the line whether it follows a "." or not...

Hi Claude -

Not sure why you consider it "odd" In most of the work I've ever done
the first letter of the first word of a new paragraph is usually capitalized
regardless of whether the preceding paragraph ended with a properly
punctuated complete sentence. Even bulleted/numbered lists where the list
items are simple phrases or single words, capitalizing the first letter
seems to have been the norm rather than the exception.

As Michel indicated, however, you can enable/disable the feature as
necessary to suit the task - even within the same document. Once returned to
action it will not change existing content. Alternatively - if you want to
leave the feature active but are concerned about the occasional exception -
you can key Command+Z immediately after the capitalization occurs in order
to undo it one instance at a time.
