Default How to keep a word with capitalized first letter, but not at the beginning of a sentence?





More details about my question:

As shown in the above screen capture, I think paragraph 1 and 2 had the same formatting, but why "The" had an indication that needs to be decapitalized?

I want something like paragraph 1,

A word with capitalized first letter in the middle of a sentence (after the heading), but without error indication.

It might be flagging it because of grammar rather than capitalization. Turn of grammar checking, Word Options>Proofing>Mark grammar errors as you type, then see if it still does it.

Turning off Word's grammar checking is a bad idea.

Word's grammar tools do not ordinarily apply capitalisation other than at the start of a sentence. Nor do they normally remove capitalisation. The green wavy line is only there because Word has detected a capitalised 'the' in the middle of a sentence. The 'in' would ordinarily have a green wavy line under it too. However, if you've already done a spelling/grammar check and told Word to ignore the rule once for 'In', the wavy underline won't show. If you do a spelling/grammar check and told Word to ignore the capitalisation rule wavy underline under 'The' won't show either.

Thanks for all the answers and help.

At the moment, I still have the green line indication, but I think I know the reason of it. At the beginning, I thought it was a formatting issue, as there are first letter capitalized word in the middle of both paragraphs, and paragraph 1 doesn't have the green line. It makes me think that WORD might have a setting that allow the situation in paragraph 2, under the normal grammar & formatting checking rule. Because even if I turned off (or 'ignore') the checking indication, other people will still see it when they open the doc in their word.

Later of that, I tried different words at the highlighted area, and only some word combination didn't give the 'green line'. So I think it's a grammar issue, and there is no way to top WORD give the green line indication for this situation unless turn the checking off or 'ignore' it.
