Capitalization after use of numbers

[Teresa]

I am using Office 2000 - was previously using Office 97.

In 97, when I typed lists with numbers, the first letter
after the "." automatically capitalized.

In 2000, it does not, and I can't find an option to "turn
it on".

Can anyone help?

Thank you!

Teresa,

I copied a bit posted by Suzanne Barnhill on this subject
earlier:

This is a bug in Word 2000 and above for which there is,
unfortunately, no workaround. Apparently some users
complained about Word automatically capitalizing the first
word of numbered list items (which are the first word
of a paragraph and therefore, Word assumes, the first word
of a sentence), and the "fix" broke the feature for *all*
situations where a word follows a number and a period.
