How to stop caps after !

hello,

i am creating a document that will have a lot of ! and i do not want the
letter after the ! to automatically be a cap.
i've look at the auto correct options, but do not see one that will work.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thank you.

Have you tried making an exception (Tools | AutoCorrect Options)?

Why do you hate caps? They make prose so much more readable. Your own
question would be much more readable if you had used them. Also, overuse of
! reduces readability. I'm not being funny here -- surely a writer hopes to
be read readily!

I've learned to delete anything that has an overabundance of exclamation
points.

Yes, when editing I always trim down multiples too. "Ridiculous!!!!!"
exclaim some authors... Mind you, I usually cant bother with people who
never use caps grammatically but i suspect i am fiting a losing battle i'm
the first to admit though that grammar and spelling is merely convention but
the commonality of it improves readability.

But if you want to write, "The problem, alas!, is..." you don't want caps.
Or if you're writing about Yahoo! or the stage play Oklahoma! or any of the
other titles that end in exclamation marks...

hi suzanne,

yep, i tried that before posting the question.
the exceptions option does not accept the !.
once i type in the !, the "add" button is disabled.
i plan to snoop around the registry to see if i can find the exception list.
thank you.

it's not that i hate caps.
in the document in question, it is more of a problem having words after the
! in caps automatically.

as for my composing emails in all lower case, it is much easier.
perhaps if on an average day i didn't send around 100 emails, i would
probably take the time to use proper upper/lower case letters.

that's fine, but i am doing this at the clients request.
it's only one ! after one word.
if you saw the document, you would understand.
