Tools/AutoCorrect. Uncheck just the "Capitalize first letter of sentences"
option. There's no way to restrict that to just turning off just
capitalization of first letter in a line - it will also turn off
capitalization after periods.

Each application's AutoCorrect option affects only itself. You can turn off
this option in Entourage and it won't affect Word. If you want it Word too,
you need to make the change in its own Tools/Autocorrect.

Thanks very much, Paul. Since they all use the same ACL, I wasn't sure
about the checkboxes, and a true test would have required too much quitting
and restarting. :)
