First letter of first word on each line is capitalized in Visio

Symptoms

When you begin to type a sentence within a shape or text box, if you insert a space, a carriage return, a period, or a semicolon, Microsoft Office Visio automatically capitalizes the first letter of the first word in the sentence (or line).

Cause

This behavior occurs when the Capitalize first letter of sentences check box is selected as an AutoCorrect feature. AutoCorrect is an automatic correction and formatting feature in Visio that performs certain functions for you while you are typing.

For example, if you click to select the Correct TWo INitial CApitals check box, and you then accidentally capitalize the first two letters of a word, Microsoft Visio corrects the capitalization for you.

The Capitalize first letter of sentences check box is selected by default. When it is selected, Visio capitalizes the first letter of any word that follows a period, a carriage return, a semicolon, or the first letter of any single word in a list or table column.
