Why is my "i' key stuck as a capital I in Microsoft Word?

I noticed it is not doing it here online, so I am assuming it is simply Word. When I go to type a sentence, such as

I'm into igloos in icy Alaska.

In the morning it is cold.

In Word it will look like this automatically:

I'm Into Igloos In Icy Alaska.

In the morning It Is cold.

If the "I" comes after another letter, it will stay lowercase. But if it is the first letter, it will automatically capitalize itself. I have to type a word like "uin" instead of "in" and then go back and erase the extra letter to make the "i" lowercase. I have tried shutting down Word as well as restarting the computer, and turning the computer off, letting it sit, and rebooting it. I've also disconnected and reinstalled my keyboard.

    That autocorrect can sometimes be buggy in Word.

    If you're on Word 2007, here's some steps to disable the autocorrect of the letter i.

    If you're on Word 2003, it can be found at Tools -> AutoCorrect Options

    The only thing is that after those steps are taken, if you really mean to type " I " then it will stay lower case unless you make it capital yourself.
