How to disable automatic capitalization at start of each line?

When you press Enter, Word takes that as the start of a new paragraph,
which implies a new sentence. The AutoCorrect feature then capitalizes
the word if that option is turned on.

This means you have two choices:

- turn off the feature (in Word 2003 and earlier, click Tools >
AutoCorrect Options > Correct and uncheck "Capitalize first word of
sentences"; in Word 2007, click the Office button > Word Options >
Proofing > AutoCorrect Options > AutoCorrect and uncheck "Capitalize
first word of sentences").

- Instead of pressing Enter to enter a paragraph mark to go to the
next line, press Shift+Enter to insert a line break.
