RE: I'm about to give up on "System i"

Trevor,

In Word, add an autocorrect - Replace 'System i' with 'System i'.

Excellent! Thank You! That is exactly what I wanted.

Or, since hardware no longer matters (you know, i5/OS on intel rumor),

stop using 'System i' and start typing 'i5/OS' more often.

Nice - but that concept is quite a bit ahead of the audiences that I am
communicating with.

John,

In Word, add an autocorrect - Replace 'System i' with 'System i'.

Or, after you type System<space>i<space> press <ctrl>Z - which will
perform
an "undo" of the autocapitalizing.


Or, since hardware no longer matters (you know, i5/OS on intel rumor),
stop
using 'System i' and start typing 'i5/OS' more often.

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!!!



Any help out there?
