Hi Barry I just tried this with Word2003 and I don't have the same problem... Have you inadvertently added "Internet" with a big 'I' to your custom dictionary... That would explain the behaviour. You can check from "tools, spelling and grammar" and from the dialog box take "options", at the next one "custom dictionaries". Select a dictionary from the list and then "modify" (it's a bit cryptic!).

Every time I type in "internet" instead of "Internet" and I have my grammar checker on, I get the cursed green-underline. I cannot, even using auto-correct and updating my spell checker, get it to stop nagging me to capitalize the "I". This is Word 2002, which I think is aka Word XP. Any fixes for this? I don't want to force it to always small "i", as American Sociological style for books would be to capitalize the first letter of all major words.
