Question Hard return renders upper case

Hi. I am a Newbie here, so please bear with me if I stumble a bit in the process.



MS Word 2010
The problem is probably a simple setting but I don't know where to look. None of the obvious tabs have a solution, at least not in vernacular that I understand.

If I use a hard return in the middle of a sentence, Word automatically makes the first letter of the next word upper case.

This is not a problem in MS Word because I can use the formatting tools and just let the sentences wrap, but my Word settings translate into my Outlook.

When writing an e-mail message, I don't want my lines of text to be the full width of my monitor, so I use Hard Returns.

Does Ms Word assume that a hard return = a new paragraph? Ergo the next word should be the beginning of a sentence . . . requiring an Upper Case character!

Go to File, Options (below Help). A new window appears.
Select Autocorrect Options.
Unselect 'Capitalize first letter of Sentences'

Thanks Sam - that was a great help. For the benefit of others referring to this thread, in my version of MS Word, there is a 'proofing' selection to make in the 'options' window.
