Why are some letters autocapitalising in the middle of a word when using Microsoft Word?

Microsoft Word has a feature that automatically causes letters to become capitals in certain situationsreplaces words and letters with an alternate, such as replacing an ‘i' without a preceding letter with a capital I. Sometimes, due to how a special character is formed, it will automatically capitalise the 'i’ in the middle of a word. This can become quite annoying after a while!

If your keyboard still is working like an English keyboard, you will need to un-hide the Keyman icon. This is a pretty simple fix!

Right click anywhere on your task bar, and select Taskbar settings from the pop-up menu. Your settings window will open on taskbar settings.

Scroll down to and click on Other system tray icons. In the options here, toggle on Keyman Engine x86. Keyman will now always be visible on the bottom left hand side of your screen. The keyboard should now work as it should!
