I write for a living, John, so I absolutely hate this particular bit of
help. And finally, I found an answer! I added my own "auto-correct"
option, and I have MS Word convert "sysi" to "System i". So now, I just
type the four characters sysi and magically Word converts it to System i for
me! And as Paul notes, Outlook does it too.

OK, I give up. This is probably an easy problem to fix, but I haven't
solved it yet, and it is related (enough) to System i that David should
permit me to ask it here, but really it is an MS Word problem.

Every time I type "System i" and then put a space after the "i" MS Word
tries to capitalize it. I realize this is because I use MS Word's
autocorrect feature and it assumes that I am typing the pronoun "I", but
it is annoying as hell, and I want to make it stop!

I would settle for getting it to stop capitalizing all lone "I's", but
the perfect solution would be for it to recognize the string "System i"
and LEAVE THE DAMN "i" ALONE!!!
