XL97: AutoCorrect may not Capitalize First Word in SentenceLast reviewed: February 18, 1998Article ID: Q154958 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSIf you enter a sentence in a cell, AutoCorrect may not capitalize the first word in the sentence. This behavior may occur even if you have "Capitalize first letter of sentence" checked in the AutoCorrect dialog box.
CAUSEYou may experience this problem if you enter a single sentence in a cell and the first letter of the first word is not capitalized. The AutoCorrect feature only capitalizes the first letter in the first word of a sentence if you precede this word with a period followed by a space. Note, if you type multiple sentences in a cell, the first words in the second and subsequent sentences are capitalized by the AutoCorrect feature if you end the first and subsequent sentences with a period and a space.
RESOLUTIONThere is no resolution to this problem. The first word of the first sentence of one or more sentences in a cell are not capitalized by the AutoCorrect feature. To capitalize the first word of the first sentence, you must edit the sentence in the cell.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
