Need help with cap after colon (:)

I have MSWord 2003. The first word after a colon (:) always capitalized the first letter and now for some reason it doesn't. I have checked Tools and can find no way to correct this. Any suggestions out there or someone else who had the same problem?

Need help with cap after colon (:)
It did automatically cap after a colon (:)up until a couple of days ago. My thinking now is the problem must be in Dragon. I upgraded to 9 Preferred and downloaded my medical terms. Guess it is a process of elimination.
There are colon cleaning "stores" where I live

You can go in and get a high colonic and come out feeling refreshed is the claim.


Did anyone see the Steve Martin movie with Sarah Jessica Parker where he was a middle-aged man trying to date an early 20's woman and maybe their first or second date was to go get one done.  She came out dancing and twirling in circles and he came out walking like he had been riding a horse!  Very funny scene!


Actually though, I think if you do something like this too often, it can have a negative effect on your intestinal health later in life.  I would recommend a daily dose of acidophilus (the same culture as in yogart) for a healthy colon and motility agent.  Papaya enzyme is another natural acid agent to improve digestion and helps with GERD as well.

works a whole lot better than spacebar and only took me about a week to get used to the change when i switched from spacebar. FYI, i don't keep my thing open at the bottom either like some say they do. i move it to where i can't see it and just use memory so that i can go faster without selecting 1 or 2 or whatever pops up down there.

Anyone ever tried Dual Action Cleanse or any other colon cleansing products? sm
The infomercial was not pretty, and this guy focused way too much on BMs and such, but said that John Wayne died with 42 pounds of undigested material in his colon ... yuck!  Supposedly, you use this product and feel tons of energy and all that ... wondered if it was just more hype or maybe someone had actually tried it.  ?
Word hasn't capped after a colon since the 2000 version.
You have to manually cap with shift key or run a macro at the end of the report. You can also hit shift+f3 to change the case to upper.
Curious. I've never fasted for a colonoscopy, just clears for 2 days and then the colon prep. The

I feel left out! Nobody picked on my errant comma that shoulda been a semi colon.

If it's a business letter you use a colon. if it's a personal letter you use a comma. nm
