HOW DO YOU AUTO CAPITALISE THE FIRST LETTER IN A BULLETED OR NUMBERED LINE/PARAGRAPH.I SEE THAT SOME WORDS, LIKE PROPER NAMES ARE CAPITALISED RELATIVE TO AUTOCORRECT FEATURE, BUT NOT EVERYDAY WORDS WHEN STARTING A SENTENCE.

What version of Office are you using? I have Office XP and do not have that problem. Have you looked at Tools/Autocorrect Options? This is where you can decide what is replaced with what, and where to use autoformatting.

Thank you for your reply. I'm running XP home edition with Office 2003. I have tried all the options in Autocorrect but no luck. you cannot type an everyday word in a numbered line/paragraph and have it Capitalised without going back and correcting it manually,( I have since played around and now I think I can get a Bulleted line to now work) In Autocorrect all the menu options that need to be checked, are, with the exceptions of Bold Italic etc, Built-in Headings, Define styles all in Autoformat As You Type. Is there something I can do in exceptions.

I see why you need the auto-caps feature. (TEASE!)
I have not done as you ask but i can tell you that what happens is that a pre-formatted Style gets applied in a bullet (et al) and you can edit that Style.
i will peek in support.microsoft.com to see if this is a bug or normal behavior for word 2003. Do you have the latest sp on Office (or Word)?
