    small "i" letter in Word of Catalina

    Hello. My Word on Catalina, even thought I disabled all spelling and grammar settings, still writes me big "I" instead of small "i". Is that a bug in Word on Catalina? On my Windows machine I don't have that problem. I use the same Office 365. Thanks in advance.
