Description natalia_hitekschool 2009-01-12 03:53:20 UTC 
The first letter of a sentence is not capitalized when the last word of a 
previous sentence is a number or special symbol. 

Steps:

1.Run Open Office application
2.Create a new test document.
3.Chose Tools -> Auto Correct from the main menu. Check “Capitalize first 
letter of every sentence†in both check boxes if unchecked.
4.Enter a sentence ending with a dot (or exclamation or question mark).  
5.Enter space.
6.Enter the next sentence which last word is a number or special symbol (for 
example: “I have 5.†or "It is $."). - The first letter of sentence is 
capitalized. (Enter space)
7.Enter the next sentence – the first letter is not capitalised.

Maybe due to this example...?

This is “British Englishâ€. The period is outside of the quote. This is “American
English.†the period is inside of the quote and the AutoCorrect function doesn’t
recognize a sentence which ends with a quote and not with a period.

@SBA: please have a look.

I attached the .ODF file with different sentences, that shows how it works.

I think that with quotation marks it should work as it works, a sentence must 
ends with ".", "?" or "!", and these symbols inside quotation shouldn't be 
recognized as an end of a sentence.
But I found here something surprizing me - when the last word inside quotation 
consists of one letter, the dot after it is not recognized as the end of a 
sentence.
