Adjusting Capitalization in Word

 

    Welcome Back! This week we will be learning about capitalization in Word. If you have ever written a document in word, you may have noticed that the default setting is usually to automatically capitalize certain letters. We're going to learn to change those settings. 

The first step is to go into Word and either open a document or start a new one. For demonstration purposes, I will be using a document that I will edit.

Below you will see the Word document before editing:

Above are the capitalized characters we need to correct.

I will show you the steps through images of how to adjust capitalization in Word.

Your next step will be to go to the File menu in Word the below image is what you should see when you click on the file.

 Above you will see where the file menu is located, below is what your screen should look like on the file menu:

Next, we will locate the options menu towards the bottom of the file menu. This is where we will edit our capitalization settings.

Above is an image of where you will locate the Options menu, below will be our next step in finding the Proofing menu:

After finding the Options and Proofing menus we will begin to adjust the settings.

While in the Proofing menu, we will click on "Capitalize first letter" as shown below.

The above image shows the default settings, below shows our edited settings.

You will click ok once the settings have been adjusted. Now you will be able to type without auto-capitalization. Although this seems like a setting that you wouldn't need it is helpful when signing certain documents. The end result should look like this:

I hope this was helpful. I will see you next week for another tutorial. Have a great week!
