Microsoft Word has some very handy functions that can assist you in specifically formatting your text as you type. One method is to automatically capitalize terms that should be capitalized, even if you forget to do so. However, you may not always want a word to be capitalized. If you use that word occasionally in your text, this might soon become frustrating if Word still corrects it for you. The good news is that you can modify how auto-capitalization works (and even disable it entirely). If you’re ready to start using your lowercase format, then here\u2019s how to turn off auto-caps in Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of the time, auto-capitalization in Word is a very handy tool. If you fail to type a capital letter at the beginning of a phrase, Word will notice and correct it for you. With auto-capitalization enabled, you may let go of the Shift key and type in lowercase, and Word will do the majority of the hard work for you. Some words will not be capitalized, such as the capital S and capital W in the prior sentence. This is because it basically looks for apparent faults, especially missing capitals at the beginning of sentences or in day names. While this option is convenient, there are situations when you do not want Word to capitalize something. It is possible to override auto-capitalization by removing the auto-corrected letter or word and typing it again, but if this occurs frequently, you may choose to disable auto-capitalization altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
