Outlook making first letter uppercase 1

[Lrnmore]

Thanks in advance for help here, I've checked my grammar options, but don't find settings to stop this.

When I hit the enter key for a new line it always makes the
First letter of the new line uppercase.

Thanks,

Why is it so bad that it start with uppercase anyway?

Well, however, did you know that they call it capital in British English, while they call it Uppercase in US?

eman2005,

Thanks for the reply.

If I uncheck that setting it no longer capitalizes the first
letter of a new sentence.

As far as your question, I would rather not have capital Letters in
The middle of my
Sentences.

But that may be the best we can do.

You should not be hitting the enter key at the end of a line. Let the text wrap automatically.

pbrodsky,

Is it possible to set the margins for the email?

Is it just me, I don't like one sentence to run all over the screen?

Maybe I'm too "old school" is it acceptable to have capital letters at the beginning of a line?

Thanks,

When you hit the Enter key, Outlook (or any conventional software for that matter) assumes you are starting a new paragraph, which assumes you should use uppercase.

You can set Word as your email editor and have some more flexibility.

For now, when you want to terminate the line, but not the sentence or paragraph, hit Shift_Enter rather than Enterr alone. This will start a 'sof' new line without setting uppercase to it.

eman2005,

Brilliant!
I can handle that.

Have a star, and a good day.

Thanks for the help.

The problem with that is that, for most people, when they read the email it will wrap at whatever width the window of their email program is set to. Extra line breaks where they look correct to you will not look correct for them. That is something they (and their email program - which might not be outlook) control and which you have no control over.

I agree. I'm aware of that.
But I guess this bothers him much less than the problem he described ;-)

eman - I understand and am not criticizing you. Was just trying to point out to lrnmore that he might annoy the readers of the email if he does that.

I know, pbrodsky, I was just kidding.
By the way, I have no problem if anybody criticized me
