Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 – Turn off Automatic Capitalization

Can I Stop the Automatic Capitalization in PowerPoint 2007?

Yes, all the Microsoft Office products default setting in the program is to capitalize the first word in a line of text. This auto correct feature if very helpful in Microsoft Word, but not in PowerPoint. One of the main features of PowerPoint is creating slides containing bulleted text, which are often not sentences, but simply keywords. These points do not need to begin with a capital letter.

Follow these easy steps to turn off this feature in PowerPoint 2007:

1.  Click the Office button in the top left corner of the screen

2.  Click the PowerPoint Options button

3.  Select Proofing in the list of options

4.  Click the AutoCorrect Options... button

5.  Remove the check mark from the option Capitalize first letter of
     sentences

6.  Click the OK button

From now on, any new line of text in PowerPoint will not be "corrected" to begin with a capital letter.
