My Word randomly capitalizes the letter "i" at the start of words, how do I get it to stop

About 2/3 of the time, my Microsoft Word autocapitalizes the letter i in front of words, much like it would for the word "I"; so a sentence might read "I was walking In the park, where I met my friend John Inside the cafe", capitalizing In and Inside.  I can go back and correct it and it doesn't recapitalize but it's really annoying, and I can't figure out how to disable it.

    Check which options for "predictive" text have been enabled for your operating system.

    Does the reference to the "Play store" mean that you are running Word on an Android device? I'm not sure that all functionality of Word is available on that platform.

    In that case, make sure that the correct language formatting has been applied to text and check which AutoCorrect entries are defined in your installation of Word, for the selected language.

    The key here is that language is a property of text characters. For "everything" on language formatting, see http://wordfaqs.ssbarnhill.com/MasterSpellCheck.htm.
