TURNING OFF AUTO FORMATTING IN WORD

Hate those pesky capitalization edits that keep popping up uninvited in Word? Shut 'em off any time in four quick clicks:

1. Click the "Format" tab at the top of your Word document.

2. Choose "Auto Format" from the drop down menu.

3. A little box appears and offers to Auto Format (ruin) your poem a couple of different ways. Skip these and click the "options" button a little further down.

4. Now you're offered a four-tabbed box called "Auto Correct." Mine always opens on the fourth tab (Auto-Format) but that's the wrong one of course -- click on the first tab (Auto-Correct) instead. Congratulations! You are now the official commander of all your captal letters and can easily take control from here. Bye bye Cap'n?
