Case Sensitive Function Not Working in Spell Check

[LettersfromCornwall]

When I try to check my InDesign document for spelling errors, the case sensitive function seems not to be working.

For example, when I hit Control-I and I get "Check Spelling" I run a check.  It keeps finding "errors" which are first words of a line not being capitalized, which is not an error in this situation.  I have to hit "skip" over and over as it tells me that "at" should be "At" and "copyright" should be "Copyright" etc.

The odd part is, this is happening despite the fact that "case sensitive" is UNCHECKED in the "Check Spelling window.

Does anyone know how to get InDesign to ignore case when checking spelling?

The Check Spelling is only for incorrect Case Sensitive words in the dictionary.

Check your InDesign preferences

When these are off - it will skip over 'my' but still flag 'i' to be 'I'. 

my friend and i went to the park yesterday. we had a picnic and played frisbee. then we went for a walk around the lake. it was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine. later, we went to a nearby ice cream shop for a treat. i had chocolate ice cream and my friend had strawberry. we had a great time together.
