Always capitalize first word after colon in Word?

[Guest]

I need to always capitalize the first word following a colon. Can't figure
it out. Any help out there?

The first method that comes to mind is to alway hold down the shift key
before typing the the first letter of the first word following a colon.

You could create 26 autocorrect entries where : a is corrected to : A,
: b to : B, etc.

You could do Edit>Replace>More>Use Wildcards
Find: : {1,}[a-z]
Replace with: ^& and set the replace with format as All Cap.

And the end result of any of those methods would be incorrect and
unnecessary capitalization in most cases.
