Need help with cap after colon (:)

There are colon cleaning "stores" where I live
You can go in and get a high colonic and come out feeling refreshed is the claim.
Did anyone see the Steve Martin movie with Sarah Jessica Parker where he was a middle-aged man trying to date an early 20's woman and maybe their first or second date was to go get one done.

works a whole lot better than spacebar and only took me about a week to get used to the change when i switched from spacebar. FYI, i don't keep my thing open at the bottom either like some say they do. i move it to where i can't see it and just use memory so that i can go faster without selecting 1 or 2 or whatever pops up down there.

Anyone ever tried Dual Action Cleanse or any other colon cleansing products? sm
The infomercial was not pretty, and this guy focused way too much on BMs and such, but said that John Wayne died with 42 pounds of undigested material in his colon ... yuck! Supposedly, you use this product and feel tons of energy and all that ... wondered if it was just more hype or maybe someone had actually tried it. ?
Word hasn't capped after a colon since the 2000 version.
You have to manually cap with shift key or run a macro at the end of the report. You can also hit shift+f3 to change the case to upper.
Curious. I've never fasted for a colonoscopy, just clears for 2 days and then the colon prep. The
