Problem with formatting for capitalization in Word

Guest

I am making word lists for my medical transcription use. I wanted to make a
list of drugs that I commonly run across, and formatted the page into 2
columns. Whenever I tried to type a drug name that I wanted to specifically
type without the first letter capitalized, it would automatically be
capitalized. I went into "tools" and "formatting" after looking at the help
text, and changed the "capitalize" option that was already marked, to the "no
capitalize" option, so I could capitalize words on my own, then I clicked ok.
When I tried again, it automatically went back to capitalizing every first
word of each items in my column. I do not want this feature, but it does not
seem to be "taking" the option that I keep clicking. It just goes back to
"capitalize all". Does someone know how to correct this in Word?
thanks,
Barb

In Word, click on Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoCorrect tab |
uncheck the two boxes for "Capitalize first letter of sentences" and
"Capitalize first letter of table cells" | OK.
