    I have this strange problem with my copy of Word 2007. For some reason all the text that I enter is capitilized. When I used other text entering programs I don't have this problem. Does anyone know of any possible settings that could have been changed? Or will I have to reinstall...I really hope this isn't the case.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Seems like you've got the default case setting to Uppercase. Below the font and font size drop-down menu in the home tab, there should be a button that says "Aa". Click it, then click "Sentence case." Finally, right click on your document, go into "Font", then hit "Default..." (make sure the "All caps" box is unchecked).

    ^^^ I was going to suggest similar.

    I think the UPPERCASE might be its default right now. I would suggest to click on Toggle Case...and check the Normal setting. Both underlined in red in attached image.
