Post by Dave Davison »

Hi.....(using XP Prof SP3 2003) Is it possible to tick some option that will activate the spellchecker & auto correct when typing in capital case please? :scratch: Thanks Dave D

Select Tools | Options...
Activate the Spelling and Grammar tab.
There is a check box "Ignore words in UPPERCASE" that is ticked by default.

If you clear this check box and click OK, words in upper case should be included when you check spelling.

AutoCorrect should work for words in upper case.

There are some options to correct unintended use of capitals in the Tools | AutoCorrect Options dialog:
