Exactly how is it better than Pages '09?
Is it the lack of Auto-Capitilisation? Or the 100 other fetaures Apple has removed from Pages 5?
Or simply when it won't open its own files that makes it superior?

On those site asking for your name, address, city, email address, this program would put that info where required. All one had to do was type the first letter or number of the info needed. Is this a Firefox program?

The program would enter info for me. I only had to type the first letter or number of the info needed. For example, my first name is OSCAR. So, to enter this info in the box marked "First name", I only had to type in the box the letter "O". The program would then type OSCAR. I would then click on the name "OSCAR" and the name OSCAR would be entered in the box asking for my first name. Same with "city", "zip code", "last name", "email address", etc. Is this a Firefox feature??

That feature would be provided by an add-on for Firefox. The most popular add-on of that type was the Google Toolbar for Firefox, which has been discontinued by Google for Firefox 5 and future versions. <br />

There are a number of different '''"auto fill"''' add-ons that are available from other developers. Look at this search for one that meets your needs. <br />

Something remembers my mail login name (in yahoo mail and other applications) so that as soon as the first letter is typed in the "name box" the rest of my login name is displayed. How can I stop it remembering this name?

I presume I have an autofill turned on somewhere as in a number of boxes I just type in the first letter and the remainder of stuff I have typed in the past is displayed. In some instances I do not want this information to be available to others. Please can someone tell me where this info is stored so I can delete some of it.

The Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have an option to clear previous recipients. You can learn to live with it. But if you want to get rid of it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is restoring the iPhone/iPod Touch as a new phone/iPod. If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

How to Capitalize the first letter in a text field?

I have a text field of first_name and one of last_name. I want to make sure not matter what format the user inputs the the first letter is Capitalized and the rest is lower case. Can someone tell me how this is done? Thanks!

It depends on what you want to do with the name. If this is for inserting the name in a database and you're using PHP, it's very simple:
$name = 'DaVID';
$formatted = ucfirst(strtolower($name));
echo $formatted; // outputs 'David'
This nests two functions: the inner function, strtolower(), converts everything to lowercase, and the outer function, ucfirst(), converts the first letter to uppercase.

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 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.

You are writing that in the perspective of having read about it here already. Repeated often enough that you encountered it somewhere in the posts.
Users are flooding in here and don't know any of this. Of course we have to repeat everything endlessly.
Because I like to give precise, understandable and workable answers to repeated questions, and Apple doesn't allow sticky posts here, I created a separate forum which users can consult to look up real answers, and contribute for themselves if they have something valuable to add:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/
There is a section purely devoted to Pages 5. Add whatever answers you feel will lighten the problems of Apple's 'upgrades'.
Peter
* Where have they acknowledged anything?
** They have barely anything listed, compared to the massive list of deleted features, and nothing but an extraordinarily long time frame considering they created the problems here and now. Apple has not said they will do anything at all about fixing the real issues, the biggest of which is that the new iWork apps break virtually all the work of existing users.

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

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.

In Pages, when I hit the return button, the first letter on the new line is not capitalises. How do I get it to capitalise automatically?

How do I capitalise first letter of sentence

Hi there. Just moved over to Mac and Pages, and love it, for the most part, except it doesn't capitalise the first letter of a sentence. for instance the "f" in "for" there does not come up automatically as "F" as it does in Word, and I believe in previous versions of Pages.
I'm in Version 5.1 (1769), and Mac os x 10.9.2.
Any ideas, folks?
Cheers, Matt.

If you never had Pages '09 before, no you will not have it. Only people who upgraded.
There is a huge difference between Pages 5 and Pages '09, the previous version.
Pages 5 is missing 100 features and is quite buggy. IMHO it is really an unanounced beta version.
Pages '09 is superior in almost every area, with only a few minor exceptions.
Even Pages 5's touted compatibility with iDevices is debatable and has the price of an unstable file format that is biting a few users in the bum.
You won't be able to miss features you never had but the biggest concern I have is over the complex, proprietary file format that is practically unrecoverable when things go wrong, as they seem to do. One that Apple regularly dumps. Pages 5 and 5.01 can't even open Pages 5.1 format files, and Pages 5 damages previous formats.

Making the first letter of every word a capital

hello CF oracles
could you guys please advise me the best way to make the
first letter in every word of a string a capital letter. (and make
all the other letters lower case).
eg. convert "the quick brown fox" into "The Quick Brown Fox"
or convert "THE QUICK BROWN FOX" into "The Quick Brown Fox"
I am taking form data and inserting it into my table, so i
want to get it right as the data is inserted.
i found a "UDF" on CFLIb.org that proports to do this, but i
don't know how to set up a UDF, are there other ways or is this
considered the best approach.
http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?id=9&enable=1
thanks for any help you can give me

found it, here's the top info, Titlecase is what you want for
this.:
changecase.cfm
Rev 1.01
cf_changecase is a simple custom tag to format case in given
string.
