Exception to AutoCorrect capitalization rule

[Ken Warthen]

I'm working on a software application user's manual where there are some
trademark names that begin with lower case letters, e.g., intelliWall. I've
tried to avoid using the trademarks as the first word in any sentence as it
looks strange to me, but there are instances where it's not practical to
start the sentence with anything else. I'm trying to figure out how to
configure an exception to the Word 2007 AutoCorrect rules for capitalizing
the first letter of a sentence. Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA

Begin your Replace word with a semicolon and AutoCorrect will back up
and change the cap to lowercase at the beginning of the sentence. For
example:

Type ;int to expand to intelliWall

Cheryl,

I appreciate your help, but I'm a little confused. Is this not an initial
Caps issues? Most of the documentation is complete. It's when I run spell
check or am involved in other editing issues that Word tries to change
intelliWall to IntelliWall if it's the first word in a sentence.

You need to add "intelliWall" to the custom dictionary. If that word
is typed with a capital I or no capital W, spell check will flag it
incorrect with a red squiggly underline. If you have both grammar
options checked, intelliWall will be flagged with a green squiggly
underline because of no cap at the beginning of the sentence. You can
choose to ignore all during your spell check.

Cheryl,

Thanks for the information. I typically have both spelling and grammar
checked as defaults in my documents, so I am getting the green squiggly line.
