How to PERMANENTLY (for every doc) set Auto-Capitalization to OFF in Word2003?
 

Ok, I can always set the Auto-capitalization of the first letter of each paragraph to off
for every individual document. However when I open another existing (or create a new doc)
the the Auto-capitalization is set again to the initial value "ON".

Is there a way to turn off "Auto-capitalization" for ALL Word2003 docs in the future?

Dear Pablo

You can set this through Tools - Autocorrect options. select the desired
options and click ok. Now close and start word again or open existing file
and check in the same option whether your change is effected or not.

(1) Find your €œNormal.dot€� file

To do this, goto Tools - Options, click on the tab which reads €œFile
Locations€�
Then Right click on €œStart€� - €œExplore€� and find €œNormal.dot€�

(2) Open your €œNormal.dot€� file

Right click on the €œNormal€� file and open it (but not with €œNew€�).
Make your changes and close the template.

Given that this setting is not stored in Normal.dot, this is a complete
waste of time and is unlikely to be helpful. Ordinarily this setting should
be stored when quitting Word. If it is not saved, then there is either a
problem with the Word Data key in the Registry or an add-in changing the
setting.
