It's starting. Outlook is doing some kind of "autocapitalisation" to me and I have no idea how to turn it off.

Outlook has a setting to automatically capitalize the beginnings of sentences. I turned that off. But it's been long ago, I forgot where that setting is. But I recall it was near the setting that enables smart quotes.

They even do it on the web version of Outlook. The setting to change it is 4 levels deep and two of the options are at the bottom of lists and labelled "more options".

On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them... It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard."

Well this has been better tech support than I usually get.
I haven't seen it with Word, which I use quite a lot, but there is one similar and extremely long-standing bug. When you use a keyboard shortcut to turn bold/italics on, then type a word immediately before a non-whitespace character, then use the shortcut to turn it back off, it will un-bold the thing you just bolded. So annoying.
Tbqh, this is my experience in just about every rich text editor. Well, maybe not quite that bad, but I’ll always bold a word, and then while editing I have to go back and change the word after it, and it will suddenly be bold.
I wish bold/italics/etc acted like caps lock. It’s either on or it’s off, and the computer doesn’t try to guess for me.
