Are you tired of Word automatically capitalizing the first letter of every sentence? Learn how to stop this automatic capitalization feature in Microsoft Word with our step-by-step guide.
Disable Automatic Capitalization in Word
Here’s how you can turn off the automatic capitalization of first letters in Word:
- Launch Microsoft Word and open a new document or an existing one.
- Go to the “Tools” menu and select “AutoCorrect.”
- Locate the “First Capital” option and uncheck the box next to it.
- Close the AutoCorrect settings and use Word as usual. The first letter of each sentence will no longer be capitalized automatically.
Now, you can type freely without Word capitalizing the first letter of every sentence. Instead, you can manually use the Shift key to capitalize words, just like in other applications.
Some people find this feature helpful, as it makes typing faster and reduces typographical errors. However, it can be frustrating in certain situations, such as when comparing Word documents or switching between different word processing applications.
Keep in mind that this setting only applies to Microsoft Word and won’t affect other applications or your computer in general. Word has its own AutoCorrect options and settings separate from the system-wide AutoCorrect settings.
