Toggling the 'Capitalize first letter of every sentence' AutoCorrect Option,
has no effect on full sentences entered into a Calc cell. A full sentence in
calc is never capitalized by Autocorrect. 

Rather, there is weirdness in the Autocorrect action on Calc cells.

Oddly the capitalize first autocorrect does affect text snippets with mixed
text and numbers separated with any punctuation other than "@" so
[!#$%^&*()_+-+{}[]\|;:'",<.>/?] inserted between a text run and a number will
capitalize the text run.  

How are those a sentences, and why sould the calc edit shell respond to that
autocorrect setting?  Is the autoformatting serving some purpose for data
formatting--for data labels perhaps? 

If so, why is it linked to the generic autocorrect capitalize first when
clearly not a sentence punctuation. Is an additional control needed in
autoformat for use with Calc?
