Tried this.  It works just fine in Entourage (2001).  The 2-letter
abbreviation now autocorrects to iBook even after a period and with
"Capitalize first letter of sentence" turned on.

But NOT in Word (2001)!!  It will correct in the middle of a sentence but
not after a period.  How weird.  For some reason, the "Capitalize first
letter" option is taking precedence in Word but not in Entourage.  Anyone
know why?  Is it the same in Word X?
