No initial capital after numbered list "Lina" <tammelina[ at ]hotmail.com> 17.07.2006 13:54:33 Hi! I recently discoverd that if I use a numbered list word does not capitalize the first letter. I understand that this is a well-known problem but is there some way to work around it? It would be ok if this happened just after numbered list but if I open a document and write in it it will autocorrect as it should. But if I then use a numbered list it won`t autocorrect even when I go back to normal. And I have choosen to autocorrect initial capital. It goes back to autocorrect as it should onley if a manually change a letter to capital. Is there some solution to this problem? /Lina

Re: No initial capital after numbered list "Lina" <tammelina[ at ]hotmail.com> 18.07.2006 07:33:51 Thanks! I have never thought of this problem before, but now I'm making a template with numbered headings and numbered lists, and the person who ordered it wants initial capitalization for all the numbered headings and numbered lists. I guess that I just have to tell him that it can’t be set automatically. /Lina "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> skrev i meddelandet news:esqMYPbqGHA.1852[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl...

Re: No initial capital after numbered list "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 18.07.2006 13:13:56 Word used to capitalize the first letter of numbered lists, but apparently there were a lot of (vocal) users who didn't want this (in many legal applications, there are lists of numbered items that are NOT capitalized), so the default was changed. Unfortunately, this also affects beginnings of sentences in running text: Word doesn't capitalize after a sentence that ends in a number, either--very maddening when you have gotten spoiled by AutoCorrect! -- Suzanne S.
