Default Outlook Capitalizing 1st word in line

I'm using Office 365 which is, I believe, using Outlook 2016. When I am typing a message and hit enter or the text wraps to the next line it is automatically capitalizing the first letter of whatever word is there. I've looked and can't figure out how to turn this off. I have the Assure Plan but don't want to bother them with this.
Thank you
Jerry

If you hit enter, you create a new paragraph. New paragraphs always start a new sentence, so
File > Options > Mail > Spelling and Autocorrect > Autocorrect Options > Uncheck 'Capitalize First Letter of Sentence'.

Great. This worked. If I could impose, I have set the text to wrap at character 70 and it does not do it. I tried 90 first and that did not work either. I'm doing it in Mail Options. Would you have an answer for this (problem) as well.
Thanks for the first answer. It worked great.
Thank you
Jerry

The text wrap relates to plain text messages and is not a reflection of how the message is displayed on screen in the composing window, but how it will appear when sent to the recipient. It is easy enough to check for yourself. Set the wrap to a low figure e.g. 30. Create a plain text message and send it to yourself. When you open the message you will have a column of text 30 characters wide.

HTML messages wrap to the window.
