Automatically capitalize the first letter in the sentence?

As the title said, is there an option for that on mac? Thanks in advance.

That depends on the program. MS Word should provide that function, of course, as does Pages. In programs like Mail and TextEdit, that is not an option.

    You need to fix capitalization in Pages Preferences > Auto-Correction. When you select this option, you can just keep typing in lower case and the first letter of the next sentence will automatically promote to upper case.

  • Why doesn't mail capitalize the first letter of a sentence?

    How do I make "mail" capitalize the first letter of a sentence? If not WHY not? If not WHY hasn't anyone from Apple addressed this annoying problem?

    Hi thank you you for contacting Apple
    Enable or disable the automatic capitalization feature on the Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
    1. Select Settings from the Home screen.
    2. Select General.
    3. Select Keyboard.
    4. Turn Auto-Capitalization to on (green) or off (white).

  • How can I get Mail to capitalise the first letter of a sentence?

    Hello all,
    this is my first time using apple Support Community.  i am a new apple user and have just got my first MacBookPro (its wonderful).  however, i am having some difficulties. 
    How can i get Mail to capitalize the first letter of a sentence and also capitalize 'i' as 'I' automatically?
    Also, how can i get apps like Pages to do the same? and for that matter typing into internet sites like this one? look at the lack of automatic punctuation!!
    Thank you all for any advice and tips you may have. 
    Paul.

    I don't think whether it's easier or not is really an issue.  The problem is that all of these wonderful technologies are taking away our understanding of how to communicate in writing.  It's not a matter of being lazy and not "wanting" to do it, but rather getting to a point where many people "can't" do it.
    I certainly wasn't pointing any fingers.  I use a calculator (or computer if I happen to be on one at the time) to do the most basic math calculations.  I can be out to lunch with co-workers and we have to pull out a calculator to split a bill 4 ways.  I went through school at a time when calculators were not permitted.  So, at one time, I could have easily done all of that stuff in my head.  So far as math goes, my mind has turned to mush a long time ago.  I doubt I could work my way through a long division problem at this point... even if I sat there and really tried.
    Computers were not generally consumer items when I was growing up.  So I didn't grow up in a world with spell checking.  I have certainly grown to use it though and I'm sure my ability to spell properly has diminished somewhat because of it.  I tend to be less careful when typing something out.  If I'm not sure of the spelling on something, I just let my computer either fix it or give me a suggestion for the corrected spelling.  Fortunately, I grew up having to rely on my own ability to spell, so with that foundation, I tend to do fairly well when it comes to spelling.
    We're at a point now where systems can correct grammar and sentence structure.  I think all of these are great tools to help us out, but they shouldn't be used to take the place of actually knowing how to do things.  Having said that, I'm fairly sure that is exactly what will happen.  Just as today, I rely almost entirely on some form of electronics for everyday math, I'm sure people growing up today with expert systems able to correct everything will rely on those equally.

  • How do I automatically capitalize the beginning of each sentence in Pages?

    Hello there!
    Please help...
    How do I automatically capitalize the beginning of each sentence in Pages version 5.2?
    The old version of Pages (Pages '09) automatically capitalizes the first word of each sentence. But in Pages 5.2, I have to manually capitalize the first word of every sentence. How can I make this automatic?
    The options in Menu > Format > Font > Capitalization, do not show an option for sentence capitalization. Please help. Thank you!

    Feature removed from Pages 5 along with over 100 others,
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 is a disastrous beta pushed onto users, and misrepresented by Apple as an "Upgrade".

  • How do I get my new mac to auto cap the the first letter in a sentence?

    can some tell me how to get my new mac to auto capitalise the first letter of each sentence?

    Quick answer, Pages 5.0 no longer does this. Frustrating! If you have Pages 4.3, it can do it.
    Also, check out the More Like This column on the right. Some people have the same question and you might find some good tips there.

  • Auto correct capitalization of first letter in sentence in Mail?

    I was used to Mt. Lion auto correcting my first letter in my sentences in Mail and now it does not.  The same is true for smaller case "i".  Sounds like both are not working in Mavericks Mail.  Hope this will get corrected (pun intended) in the next iteration.

    That has never been a feature of Mac OS X or Mail. I suspect you had a Mail plugin installed that was doing that for you, and that plugin must not be working in Mavericks.

  • Autocapitalization of first letter of a sentence

    After updating to mavericks and updating "pages", the latter is not autocapitalizing the first letter of a sentence. I searched in the settings but what used to work in the previous versions of Pages doesn't anymore. Settings have been relocated...
    Please help

    I just opened a document on Pages 5.0. Auto correction is GONE!. While I really like the new interface, I spent years customizing Pages using auto-correction. It won't even capitalize the first word in sentences. Very frustrating.

  • First letter of each sentence in pages!

    how can I fix the first letter in each sentence, it doesn't turn to uppercase automatically, although i have tryed to choose none, title case etc. in the advanced setting? what should i do?

    We guess you are talking about Pages 5. You didn't say.
    Feature dropped by Apple along with 100 others.
    Pages '09 can capitalise the first letter of sentences automatically.

  • Capitalization of first character in a sentence

    Is there a 'switch' that should be turned on to ensure that the first character in a sentence or paragraph is automatically a capital letter?

    Tom
    Thank you for that. I knew there would be the facility but could I find it..... Feel a bit silly now.

  • Is there a way to capitalize just the first word on a sentence on Pages v5.2?

    I'm sort of new to iwork, but i've been working with word for a long time and i know it very well.
    In word there is a tool in which you select a paragraph and you can capitalize the first word of each sentence.
    Is there a way i can do the same with pages v5.2? Pages would only let me capitalize each word of the selected paragraph.
    Thanks

    The previous major version of Pages (Pages '09 version 4.3) could automatically capitalize the first word of each sentence as you typed. That capability and a number of others was lost with the release of Pages v 5. You may still have the older version available in your Applications folder. You may also want to switch to Word or Open Office (free), both of which will likely be more familiar if you have worked with Word before.

  • How do I get my font to automatically capitalize on the next sentence after ending the previous sentence with a period?

    For Pages software, how can I have the first letter after a sentence ending period automatically capitalize?  Can't seem to figure it out...thanks!

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use Pages. There's a Pages Support Community where everybody uses Pages. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • Is there a way to auto capitalize the first letter of every word?

    I Like To Type In This Way. I Was Wondering If There Is A Setting That Will Automatically Capitalize The First Letter Of Each Word So That I Don't Have To Keep Hitting Shift Before Each First Letter.
    Thank You

    Nice to see so many 'helpful' responses.
    This casing is useful for example, on an Address field. It would be good if the OS had this option for developers.
    I'm pretty sure it does as I've certainly had apps that, in certain fields, do use title case.

  • How to capitalize the first letter

    Yesterday, I upgraded my operating system and pages on my Mac.  However, I can't capitalize the first letter after every sentence.  Can you please help me with this problem of mine? 
    Thank you,
    Vic.   

    I have the same problem. For the previous Pages, the problem is solved by +Menu > Preferences > Auto-Correction Preferences > check Fix Capitilization+. For this update I cannot find any solution!
