Dudes... I'm on holiday, writing my next novel, and disaster has struck.
For some reason the Word programme (open source word, but it looks just the same) didn't pick up on English. So, I, thinking I'm the all knowing guru you take me for, muddled around with a couple of knobs, triggered a couple of gears and... voila...
Now every time I type "it", the programme automatically changes it to "IT".
How on earth do I get it to remain it, so it doesn't become IT... which is obviously irritating the pants of me.
Anyone who can help me on this matter gets to read the first chapter before publication.
Cheers.

The rest should be simple - you can either disallow automatic changes altogether, or you can delete that particular one.

1. Realize agents will never take you unless you shag someone famous.
2. Hence, drop the crazy idea of a novel. Nobody reads anyway.
3. Change the computer for 500 grams of meth and a 24 pack of beer.
4. Get hammered.
5. Come, post, and play chess.
See how easy?

And I have tried everything!
The it just keeps turning to IT. Even if I change everything back to original settings.
Oh. And if anyone knows how to switch off that bloody laptop pad on the keyboard, I'd be much obliged!!!!
