Automatically Capitalizing Day Names

Every time you type a word in Word, the program does quite a bit of behind-the-scenes work to check out what you typed and, if necessary, make changes to it. One of the things that Word can automatically check and correct is the capitalization of days of the week. For instance, if you type the word "wednesday," Word would automatically change it to Wednesday. To control this behavior in Word, follow these steps:

1. Choose AutoCorrect from the Tools menu. Word displays the AutoCorrect dialog box.
2. If you are using Word 97 or a later version, make sure the AutoCorrect tab is selected. (Click here to see a related figure.)
3. Select the Capitalize Names of Days check box if you want Word to automatically capitalize for you.
4. Clear the Capitalize Names of Days check box if you don't want Word to make automatic changes.
5. Click on OK.
