Turn Off Auto-Capping in Tables
The Problem:
Brilliant! Word 2004's AutoCorrect feature doesn't include a "Capitalize first letter of table cells" checkboxso you can't tell Word not to capitalize the first word inside a table cell. At least AutoCorrect in Word X didn't mess with table contents.
The Solution:
It's hard to see how Microsoft could claim that this omission of a user interface control is a feature rather than a faultbut fortunately, there's a fix. Insert a table, type a word starting with a lowercase letter in one of the cells, and press the spacebar to trigger the AutoCorrect action. Click the AutoCorrect Smart Tag, and choose "Stop Auto-capitalizing First Letter of Table Cells" from the menu (see Figure 10-3). A quick warning, though: once you turn off this option, you can never turn it back on.
