Default How To Stop Auto Initial Capitalisation?

I'm copying out some legislation.


there's a section with various clauses within it all numbered (i), (ii), (iii) etc.. and the text for each clause.


Word puts a capital letter at the beginning of each line of text I put in. That's not the convention in legislation.


How to switch this off? I've looked around a bit. Couldn't find anything in 'advanced'.


I would like instant control of all these automatic features.
They're great when they're working for you, when you want them.
But they're a major PITA when you don't want them and have to get into a major hunt to find out how to disable them.
So if there's a place and a way please tell, I'll be rapt.
==================================================



[Moderator's note: This would be better posted as a new thread, really]


p.s. I might as well put this here I guess, as open a complete new thread. The automatics just beat me again, on this same task.


I just backspaced once more than I usually do when creating these lists of subsections. And the cursor came to rest further to the left. Not in line with all the previous. And the text has changed. To a smaller font.
All preset automatic stuff I guess.


In the first instance it would be good if I could control the size of this 'second' font. So's if I can't control the indentation I can fumble along and at least have all the text the same size.


And then somehow master this indentation thing and see what it is doing and how I can stop it or use it properly.



Any help with that?
