If the Auto correction function Capitalize first letter of sentences is enabled on the Options tab, TextMaker automatically capitalizes the first letter at the beginning of a sentence – even if you have accidentally typed a lowercase letter.

Here, on the First letter tab, you can set exceptions to this rule:

This applies, for example, to abbreviations such as "amt.", "fig.", "p.m.", which end with a period and thus indicate the end of a sentence without actually being one. Thus, there is no desire here for TextMaker to automatically capitalize the next word.

Enter the appropriate abbreviations in the exception list on the First letter tab. An extensive list is already provided for many languages.

You can add new entries to this list or delete existing entries.

Note: The list is automatically linked to the language in which your current text section is formatted. For more information, see Setting the language. However, you can also edit the lists for other languages independently at the top of the Auto correction tab.
