Is there a way to automatically capitalize the first letter of a sentence
after a colon mark?

No. And in most cases capitalization after a colon is incorrect.

It is? I was taught that you always capitalize after a colon:
But not after a semi-colin; such as you find in Word.
Woof! P Poor analogy, but I think it works!
