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?

Katie,

Thanks for the information. You know Word better than I do.

Other students will benefit from this information as well.
