Letter case problem

D

I try to use a lowercase letter i in a cell, just as a bale for a list
of items, all by itself, and Excel insists on changing it to an
uppercase I. It does not make any difference if I specify that the
cell is text. In fact, nothing I have found solves this problem.

Does anyone know how to make Excel behave in this case?

Probably an autocorrect issue. You could turn off or uncheck "correct as you
type"

Autocorrect? One of those overly-helpful features, eh? Anyway, I find
this in the Help section:

Prevent AutoCorrect from making specific capitalization and spelling
corrections
1. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect.
2. Click Exceptions.
3. Do one of the following:
· To prevent automatic capitalization of any word that is typed
after an abbreviation, click the First Letter tab and type the
abbreviation - including the period - in the Don't capitalize after
box.
·
To prevent automatic correction of a word that contains a mixture of
uppercase and lowercase letters, click the INitial CAps tab, and then
type the word in the Don't correct
4. Click Add, and then click OK.
