When doing the spelling and grammar check, it doesn't correct small i?
Hello Bhupinder1 ,
thank you for confirming.
There is one more issue that I could think of: in your autocorrect - do you have the i-I pair present in corrections? In my language the "i" is correct as a standalone and therefore we don't have it commented/included in the autocorrect and it doesn't show as an error just like in your document.
Could it be that this is not for some reason part of your setting?

Bhupinder1 , I think the issue is in the pasting. If i changes to I when you type, it means that the default set up is correct.
It is difficult to judge without seeing it with our own eyes, but I think that when you paste the spellcheck is either 'muted' or is in different language that treats the 'i' differently.
I cannot judge correctly without actually seeing, but I have a hunch that this is the reason.
All posts here are relevant, but we are missing something from your, the correct input. Please check the source and the target setting, check the paste options, check how you paste (do you paste using CTRL+V or do you paste 'Text only'?). The solution is in there, I am confident.

How could it correct i'm to I'm and not i to I? I tried different pasting options as well. One quick question, what happens when you copy and paste my text (exactly as it is) to your MS Word? Does it flag the errors including punctuations? I kind of think it must be related to the punctuations. But, I can't really find the exact cause.

yes it does, please see my previous post. Like I said, I can replicate your issue under certain conditions (using the same proofing language setup).
I am sorry but I am unable to help you further without connecting to your computer.
"How could it correct i'm to I'm and not i to I? I tried different pasting options as well. "
To me this means that it is not punctuation problem but proofing setting issue.
Also, it just dawned on me - are you talking about autocorrect (your words - it correct i'm to I'm) or just that the spelling shows that i is/isn't correct with the read line?
