Default bullets - no capitals

how can I get it so my default is that bulleted lists do not start with a
capital?

You can't--at least not without disabling the AutoCorrect option to
capitalize words at the beginning of a sentence.

Thanks, although that does confirm my worst fears (I have lots of bulleted
lists in my documents that shouldn't have capitals(they are completing a
sentence stubb) and want capitals in everything else).

I guess I'll resign myself to lots of tedious manual changing. Bah humbug.
Perhaps MS will change it in the future?

I hope not, since they can't seem to get this right. People complained about
the same thing with numbered list, and they disabled automatic
capitalization after numbers even in running text, so that if a sentence
ends with a number, the next sentence will not be automatically capitalized.
