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.

  • 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 do you auto capitalize in the new version of pages? It no longer capitalizes the first word in each sentence and "I".

    I just updated to the new version, and this problem occurred right away. Please help!!

    Your previous version of Pages should still be in your Applications/iWork folder. It actually works.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Mail - Auto capitalize first word in each sentence

    When composing a message in mail is there a way to turn on auto capitalization for the word beginning each sentence?

    As far as I can tell you cant auto capitalize the first word of each sentence. I did however find out how to turn "i" into "I in case that is bugging you as well
    Go into System Preferences
    Click on Language and Text
    Choose the "Text" box on the menu bar
    It will bring you to the text substitution thingamajig where you can replace "i" with an "I". Once done it will work on Mail as well as most applications system wide.
    Hope that helps a little

  • Love Nuance VSuite 4.0 but how can I get it to capitalize the first word...

    In a sentence? Such a great tool, but now have to go back and capitalize every first word in a sentence.
    It capitalizes names and places appropriately.
    Is incredibly accurate.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • 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 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,

    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!

    The system doesn’t recognize or capitalize the word (I) or the first word of every sentence. Another really annoying thing about the integrated mail on your Mac computers is the fact that the system learns the word as you type it more and more instead of highlighting it as incorrectly is this is a word that’s being misspelled. Can Apple fix this bug to make it user friendly as if you were using Office or a Word Document?

    You hit the target CT.
    It’s only fair that if Apple is going to integrate Mail into Mac PCs, it would be nice if the system does it for you like Office or perhaps Outlook. I just don’t to use Outlook although I have it installed and ready to use, but instead use Mail which comes with Mac OS already.
    I hope to make some sense here.

    How to get the first word in a sentence to auto-capitalize
    Anwar

    something to look forward to then, because we get used not to use our shift button any more, since iPhone and iPad do it for us. entourage and other ms stuff do it. pages does it too now (put it on in the auto-correct in preferences). bizarre however some loose the capitalization when you copy the text. pages to stickies or mail does not. that's good !

    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:

    There is a section purely devoted to Pages 5. Add whatever answers you feel will lighten the problems of Apple's 'upgrades'.

    * 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.

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

    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.
