My set of workarounds: When I get an initial cap I don't want, if I notice before going to the next word, Cmd-Z restores what I typed. iBook returns to its desired state.
Typing things like poetry, I start a new line with Cmd-Return instead of Return (line feed rather than return). This does not trigger the "list" logic in Word. Possibly a better solution in Word is to turn off all the auto-formatting stuff and do it manually. The following Word macro will convert auto-generate list numbers to editable text; just select the lines to convert: Sub convertListNums() ' ' Convert List Numbers to text, single list. Macro ' Macro recorded 2/7/02 by Allen Watson ' Selection.Range.ListFormat.List.ConvertNumbersToText End Sub When typing AppleScripts into a mail message, if you start each line with a tab or just a space, it won't auto-capitalize. I prefer that to turning the "Capitalize sentence" option off.

It retains the lower case without any hitch. -- My web page: <http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/> My scripts page: <http:homepage.mac.com/allenwatson> Microsoft MVP for Mac Entourage/Word--<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
