How do I stop the lower case i from changing automatically to a capital I in Word documents?

Answer 1

Turn off the auto correct.

go to tools> autocorrect options

in the window that pops up, scroll down the list of automatic corrections until you fin the line with "i" and "I" . Delete that line.

Answer 2

Prevent AutoCorrect from making specific capitalization and spelling corrections
On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect.
Show Me

Click Exceptions.


Do one or more of the following to prevent AutoCorrect from:
Capitalizing a word you type after a specific abbreviation. Click the First Letter tab, and then type the abbreviation (including the period) in the Don't capitalize after box.


Correcting a word that contains mixed uppercase and lowercase letters. Click the INitial CAps tab, and then type the word in the Don't correct box.


Correcting a spelling error. Click the Other Corrections tab, and then type the misspelled word in the Don't correct box.
Click Add, and then click Close.
Note On the Other Corrections tab, you can enter exceptions for spelling corrections that are generated by the spelling checker. If you enter an exception that's already included in the list of built-in AutoCorrect entries, AutoCorrect will ignore this exception. For example, if the "recieve/receive" pair is included in the AutoCorrect list, and you type recieve in the Don't correct box, AutoCorrect will still change "recieve" to "receive." However, you can delete the spelling correction from the AutoCorrect list.

Tip To automatically add AutoCorrect exceptions, select the Automatically add words to list check box in the AutoCorrect Exceptions dialog box. Then when AutoCorrect makes an unwanted correction, click Undo on the Standard toolbar, or press BACKSPACE to remove the entire correction and retype the word you want. AutoCorrect automatically adds the correction to the exceptions list.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Follow these steps to write the sentence "i love food":

Write:
O io love food

Delete the unnecessary letters without pressing the space-bar.

In fact, Microsoft Word only makes changes when you press the space-bar.

This trick may not work on all versions of Word.

The advantage of using this system is that it's easier than it seems and you don't need to turn off the auto-correct, which is often more useful than not.
