Outlook XP autocorrect problem

W

Wowbagger

While composing a message, Outlook insists on capitalizing the first
character after I type "..."

For example,

I use ... Quite frequently and always have to go back and manually fix it...
It gets to be quite annoying.

Is there any way to make it stop doing this?

It's a Word setting...if you can't change it through Outlook, change it in
Word.

Word is not doing this and I am not using Word as the editor.

It doesn't matter that you're not using Word as your e-mail editor. Outlook
2002 borrows some of Word's proofing tools, such as the spell checker and
AutoCorrect. Take a look at the "AutoCorrect Options" paragraph in the
following Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter from 11 July 2001 and you'll
see what I mean:
