I hate to raise this topic yet again but I can find not redress to the issue I see.
I am creating a concert program. The first few lines are centred and not sentences - no punctuation, just new-lines. Each work of each line is capitalized automatically. I really don't want this behaviour. Change case has no effect. Autocorrect capitalization is unchecked. What else can be forcing each word to begin with a capital?
My document begins:
St. Thomas' Cathedral
Lunchtime Recital
I rather it looked like this:
St. Thomas' Cathedral
lunchtime recital
Suggestions gratefully received.

Re: Capitalization woes
Here it is. Try modifying the first three lines to see the effect.

Re: Capitalization woes
There is a Character formatting on the text: select the text and in the Character properties, Font effect tab, change the Effects field to Without.

Re: Capitalization woes
Often it is sufficient, when a first line letter is capitalised, to undo the capital and replace with lower case.

Re: Capitalization woes
Thank you so much for the Font Effects tip. That fixes it. I'm afraid Ctrl-Z doesn't work in this.
This has bugged me for months. I did discover that using the format paint brush fixed the issue. Now I understand why.
Thanks again for all suggestions.

Re: [Solved] Capitalization woes
How I do it is to overwrite the leading capital with the lowercase letter, then down arrow to the next line, which I have already entered. As far as I remember pressing enter on the line causes the leading lowercase to be replaced with the capital.

Ctrl+Z won't work because there was no autocorrect action from AOO, it's just a style application like all caps.
