I can't seem to find the setting,
but all I want to do is disable AutoCorrect for a., b., c., etc.
Right now when I type "a." and hit a space, this is what happens:
I looked under exceptions, but this option does not seem to be available?

Hi Jesse
You seem to have discovered a bug. It seems as if all the exceptions in the category "First letter" don't work.
Typing "abbr." or "abs." also capitalizes the A once you type the space.
I guess this needs to be fixed.
However, you can temporarily work around this by adding "a" (without the period) in the tab Other corrections" (don't add "a." because it will not accept it, probably because it already exists in the tab "First letter"). After you have done this, typing "a." will not capitalize.

Hi Nora
Very interesting remark, which proves that "intuitive" doesn't always mean the same to everyone (which makes the concept "intuitive" basically useless:-)). The labels may be interpreted differently by various users:-)
It seems that you are right, the exception list "First letter" contains words that should not be capitalised if they follow one of the abbreviations in the list. At least, the behaviour seems to confirm this.
Based on the fact that the AutoCorrect module in Studio should be the same as the one in MS Word, I tested this in Word and the behaviour is similar, with one big exception: the first letter is already capitalised when you type the period and not only after the space, which means that even if you enter the word that should not be capitalised in the list "Other corrections", it will still be capitalised, whereas this is not the case in Studio. So, there seems to be a slight difference in behaviour between the two modules.
I also checked the help in MS Word, but it doesn't seem to go to this level of details, which is a pity because we would like to know what the intention of the developer was.
