You want the box above the one you are referring to -"Letter Case of Surnames". 
In version 5 (assuming 6 is same):  options>customize>data format>letter case 
of surnames, select "intial caps" and save. Then (if so desired) go back in and 
change to "Don't change what I enter".

> Before I knew better, I capitalized all my surnames.  Now, no matter what I
> do, Legacy autocompletes them in capitals.  (In the Options-Customize-Data
> Format-Displaying Surnames the box for Show SURNAMES in uppercase letters is
> NOT checked.)  The only way I can find to undo this is to go to each surname
> individually, add the name in lower case after the uppercase version, then
> backspace to remove the uppercase version.  This is extremely tedious, and
> doesn't solve the problem of future entries.  Even now, every time I try to
> add a new person with a surname I had previously entered in caps, it shows
> up in caps.
> 
> Is there a way to remove these old, erroneous autocompletes?
> Is there a way to change all my surnames at once to Upper/Lower case?
> Remember, this is NOT a matter of unchecking the box.
