I have switched over to the "New Outlook" and some functions did not switch over also. How do I turn on the auto capitalization of the 1st word of a sentence? How do I turn back on auto capitalizing the letter i? Thank you for any help!!!!

    That doesn't make any difference. Still showing a small 'i'

    Hi all!

    There is an additional "complexity factor" here which I wanted to bring to everyone (but mostly to Microsoft developer's) attendion, about the capitalization feature, regarding the "an isolated <<i>> sould always be capitalized" topic: while this is absolutely true when you are writing in English, the same is not when you write in any other languade (e.g. in Italian, "i" is the plural form for the masculine definite article, which in English would simply be translated as "the", such as in "the dogs", translated as "i cani" in Italian).

    Any auto-capitalization feature, though, should be developed with a cross-reference to the language whihc is set as a proofing on in the given text, rather than being implemented as a standalone absolute rule!

    Doesn't seem to be rocket science in 2024, though...

    An interesting point and very well made, but when my system and Office language is set to "English (UK)", I want the basic functionality to auto capitalise based on my preselected language.

    (Ironically, the 'i' typed above, autocorrected to "I".... MS web developers clearly know what's what!! 😂)
