Automatic lower case problem

Ken Williams · From: Arkansas

I asked this question once before years ago, and got the answer. I wish I had written it down.
Anyway, my job involves typing a chemical formula or two. When I type the formula for something like hydrochloric acid(HCl), the C is automatically changed to lower case, which is incorrect in chemistry lingo. I type capitol H, capitol C, lower case l, then when I hit the spacebar it changes the C to lower case. It also does it when typing HBr. Anyone know how prevent this from happening? Not that big of a deal but it kinda bugs me.

Thanks,
Ken

If it is in Word, then that possibly is an AutoCorrect setting.

What application are you using to type the formulas?

I'm sorry, I should have included that in my orginal post. I'm running XP and the program is Word Perfect.

Ok, that is a setting under Tools/QuickCorrect/Format-As-You-Go.

Uncheck the box for "Correct TWo IRregular CApitals etc."
