'Life of the Party'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
ita ... is "ita" in AutoCorrect for some other word? Possibly that's causing it to capitalise the "i".
Also, re replacing your desktop system: does it have to be a brand name PC? Couldn't you buy the parts individually, and build it yourself? Sure it might not be quite as cheap but at least you get exactly what you want in terms of case/psu, vid card, cpu, etc., etc..
(Which would be kind of a PITA for emails you wanted to sign differently, but possibly less of one than correcting Word's capitalization every time.)
Doesn't it allow mutlitple signatures? Courier (FKA Calypso) lets me have as many as I want, and lets me choose which one to use via a pulldown menu.

Nope. And it's in the dictionary, and Ita is AutoCorrected to ita. Sometimes I hate being helped.
I'll toss around the idea of making my own PC. It's been a while since I got my hands dirty.
Bah. Here I am, on my broken MacBook, because the internet access on my Mac Mini is frelled. About 6 or 9 months ago, Comcast had to come out and reinstall my internet. The guy had me run some special Comcast software on my Mini to activate my account. (No idea what it was.) Anyway, it didn't work, but we got the connection set up the normal way. But now, everything on the internet I try to get to gets redirected to Comcast. Every web page, every URL I ping ends up at the same place. I checked all the obvious network settings but everything looks normal. Reboot didn't help. So I guess there's some Comcast application doing this.
Huh, I should check running processes, huh?
It's a first-generation Mini (Power PC) running 10.4.something....
eta: Bah. It's a known issue with Comcast software on a Mac. Requires IE 5 (no really) to run their stupid software. Which is why it never worked for me. Still haven't figured out how to get it off....
ita, could it be capitalizing the "i" as the beginning of a sentence or paragraph?

That's what I think it is doing. I just want to know how to turn it off.
Could there be something in "autoformat" or "autoformat as you type" that causes this to happen?
ION, looks like I can get a new LCD screen for my MacBook for $300. Or about $185 on eBay (also new). Looks like the replacement is fairly simple.
A MacBook barely alive.
We can rebuild it. We have the technology. Like a knife and a tiny Phillips screwdriver.
Der. It wasn't a what, but a where. On the main screen of Outlook navigating to Tools/Options/Spelling and changing the auto stuff there doesn't make a difference. Being in a reply or a newly composed messaged does.
The latter makes sense, but where am I affecting by making the changes off the main screens?
Looks like the replacement is fairly simple.
Oh, hey, cool. I always assume that laptop breakages are time for a new one.

That did cross my mind, especially with the new Apple laptops out today. But I wanna put off getting a new one for a little while longer. Maybe until a smaller Macbook Pro comes out....
Too bad it's not under warranty. I'd love to take it to a Genius Bar and say, "I don't know what happened - I just booted it up and it looked like this." (This would be more funny if I posted a picture of the screen.)
