Good morning dear colleagues,

I’m facing a little problem with Microsoft Word and I was wondering if you could help me find a solution to it.
I use Microsoft Word 2007, Italian version. The Grammar and Spelling Check function works fine for standard text, but not for text written in capital letters. Just to give an example: Word would recognize the mistake in “langage”, but not in “LANGAGE”. Is this normal? Is there a way to change the settings so that words in capital letters are checked as well?

I thank you in advance for your comments and help.

There's a setting for that Jun 12, 2013

In the grammer and spelling options dialogue, there's a check-box for "Ignore words in upper case". It's there to prevent getting a load of false positives on acronyms.

Go to word options menu, then "vérification" (3rd option in the menu) and uncheck "ignore capitalized words"
