I need to (continuously) type genus and species names, where the genus is
abbreviated - both Word and Publisher put initial caps on the species names -
there must be a way to turn this function off!
Can anyone advise on this? I change all the ones I find, but miss some, and
the result is very unprofessional.
Thanks.

That's one of the AutoCorrect settings.

In Word 2003 or earlier, click Tools > AutoCorrect Options. In Word
2007 , click Office button > Word Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect
Options.

In either version, uncheck "Capitalize first letter of sentences".
