I am using Microsoft Word (office 2003 SP2) inwindows XP.  I have Word set to automatically capitalize the first word sentences.  When I type manually, it behaves as desired.  However, when dictating in DNS (preferred, version 9) and Know-brainer, automatic capitalization does not work.  Does anyone understand this and have a fix?

Thank you, Keith

Word's auto correction functions work with input directly from the keyboard. NS, however, kind of pastes the text into the document, and it is never seen by the autocorrect function. So none of Word's autocorrect settings have any impact on how NS works.

It seems that NS has to hook in properly to Word. The only way I get everything to work right consistantly is to start NS, dictate something into DragonPad, then start Word. No instances of Word can be running (verify with Task Manager) when NS is started, or it will not hook in properly. On rare occassions, things stop working while I am working. In this case, I have to shut down Word and Outlook, make sure all instances of Word have closed, then reopen Word.

So bascially, please try:

Boot computer -- Start NS -- Dictate into DragonPad -- Start Word

and see if it helps.
