= SUMMARY =

If an end-of-sentence mark (a period, a question mark, or an exclamation point) followed by a word beginning with a lowercase letter is found while checking the spelling of a Microsoft Works Word Processor document, a suggested replacement word is displayed in the Replace With box in the Correct Spelling dialog box. This happens when the Must Capitalize After Period option is selected in the Options dialog box of the Spell menu.

The first character of the suggested replacement word will be an uppercase letter. If you attempt to delete the suggested word from the dictionary and it does not begin with an uppercase letter, an error message will be displayed, stating that the word does not exist in the dictionary and cannot be deleted.

Additionally, if another word in the dictionary is selected, the chosen word will be displayed in the Replace With box and will be in all capital letters. If you attempt to delete the displayed word from the dictionary, an error message will state that the word does not exist in the dictionary and therefore cannot be deleted from it.

These problems occur because the dictionary is case sensitive.
