SYMPTOMS
When you use an East Asian Input Method Editor (IME) to insert lowercase Greek letters in your Microsoft Office Visio 2003 drawing, you may find that the lowercase letters are automatically converted to uppercase letters.

For example, if you use the Japanese IME to input Hiragana characters in your Visio 2003 drawing by using the ARROW keys to select a lowercase &quot;α” character (without the quotation marks) from the Candidate list, and then pressing ENTER to insert the character in your drawing, the lowercase &quot;α&quot; is automatically converted to an uppercase &quot;A&quot; (without the quotation marks).



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the AutoCorrect feature in Microsoft Visio automatically converts the letters to uppercase when you input lowercase Greek letters in your Visio drawing by using an East Asian IME.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do one of the following:
 * On the Edit menu, click Undo AutoCorrect.

-or-
 * Click the Undo button.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
