Preventing MS Word from capitalising letters.

I have recently worked with a few Foundation Stage teachers who have commented that they do not like the fact that Word automatically changes initial letters in tables to capitals. When creating word lists this can make more work causing people to go back and change the letters back to lowercase letters.

To stop Word making these corrections click on ‘Tools’, ‘AutoCorrect Options’ and remove the ticks next to ‘Capitalise first letters of sentences’ and ‘Capitalise first letter of table cells’ then click on ‘OK’.

It has been brought to my attention that a lot of people are fed up with the automatically created ‘drawing canvas’ appearing when people use the autoshapes feature in Word. If you are one of these people, feel reassured that it is easy to turn off.

Go to ‘Tools’, ‘Options’ and click on the ‘General tab’ then click on the box next to ‘Automatically create drawing canvas when inserting autoshapes’, the tick should disappear, now click ‘OK’ and enjoy using the autoshapes!
