>Is *cAlias* the first word in a sentence ? If it is, before you type the *c* type Alt+0 (zero on the KEYPAD). This places a null as the first character of the sentence, which of course cannot be capitalized, and leaves the second character (your c) as lower case.

Yes, but I want to avoid that by changing the setup. In my prior installation of Word 6, I didn't have this situation. I can't find the place to change the setup for that.
