Change small caps to all caps (was: Scripting help)

Hi All
I am working with an ID script in CS3 and I am trying to write some script (to add to an exsiting scipt that I am using) that will change small caps to all caps for some ID documents I am converting.
Sorry it's probably very easy to do but I'm fiarly new to using scipts!
Thanks for any help with this.

Hi All
Sorry as I said I'm new to using and writing scripts!
The script (Java script) I am using was supplied to me by someone else and I am mainly just tweaking it.
The script is being used to mainly find character and paragraph styles and change them from one style to another.
As I have a lot of files with quite a few different styles to change the script is saving heaps of time.
The small caps that I am trying to change are in a character style and I need to if possible change them to normal caps that isn't a character style in most circumstances although there are places where they need to be a certain bold or italic character style.
The script is mainly using GREP search to find and change the various character and paragraph styles and the script I have tried so far is:
grep
{appliedCharacterStyle:"Chapter Small Caps (A+B)"}
{appliedStyle:"All Caps"}
{includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false}
Apply body Text Indent para Style to all.
The small caps need to be changed in several different character styles.
I hope this makes it a bit clearer what I'm trying to do

Firefox changes my AOL username to CAPS when I tab and I can't sign in because it needs to be lower case

When I go to sign into AOL and enter my username in lower case, as required, as soon as I tab to enter a password, FIREFOX changes the username to all caps and I can't sign in. AOL says it's not their problem, it's a browser issue. I tried clearing histories in FIREFOX and it didn't change the situation.

Make sure that you haven't saved Uppercase and Lowercase versions of that name and password.
Remove saved Password(s):

I wish to write that in fact, only the use of WordService gives a correct result.
Using Format > Font > Capitalization > All Caps doesn't change the characters, it just changes the way they are displayed.
If you copy a group of characters treated with this menu item then paste into TextEdit, you will get lowercase characters.
Its exactly the same behavior than the use of a format applied to number cells or date_time ones.
A cell which display 12:34:56 contains in fact 12 janv. 2008 12:34:56 if it was entered the 12 janv. 2008.
A cell which contain 123.6789 may be displayed as:
123.6789
123.679
123.68
123.7
124
All these displays are perfect.
With computer we must always remember that what we see is not exactly was is stored.
It depends of the applied format.
Back to Word processor, we may apply "All caps", "Small caps" or "Title". The display will change but the contents remains unchanged.
It's completely different of what we where accustomed to with AppleWorks which changed the contents itself when we asked it to apply the format "UPPERCASE".

Seen this question before but no answer, how can I change my email address from all caps into a more proper upper-lower style.

You should be able to change your e-mail address from your provider ... then edit it to meet the Apple requirements. Unfortunately you've given us no profile details so we can't tell what device you have.

Mac keep automatically changing ALL CAPS to lower case in Pages.

MacBook Pro automaticaly changes all CAPS to lower case in Pages. It will automatically revert and I can't make the CAPS stay, regardless if I hold 'shift' and type or press the 'caps lock' key. Is there a setting where I can disable this feature?

You have not said where you are copying this from but it sounds like what you have is text that is styled by CSS on a web page or ATSUI (Apple's typographic type engine) to appear ALL CAPS.
The actual text is actually U&lc or lowercase.
You can restyle it using:
Menu > Format > Font > Capitalization > All Caps

How do I change all caps to lowercase on Pages 08?

How do I change all caps to lowercase on Pages 08? Help says to use 'Lower' but I can't find it on the program.

If you have Pages '08, then you also have Numbers '08, which supports the LOWER() function.
Copy/paste your text into column B of a Numbers table, starting at B2
In cell C2, enter the formula =LOWER(B2).
Fill down to the last row containing text in column B.
Select the cells of converted text in column C. Copy
Go back to your Pages document and go Edit > Paste Values.
Unlike the Pages menu item (in the Format menu), which formats the text to display as lower case, the LOWER() Function does an actual conversion. The function works only in a table. It is probably supported in Pages tables as well as in tables in Numbers, but I haven't checked that.

Snow Leopard is changing filenames to ALL CAPS!!

Hi All,
This is getting pretty frustrating. For absolutely no apparent reason files names and extensions are getting changed to all caps. This happens in programs ranging from CS3 to Coda. Has anyone come across this is or know of a fix or cause?
Thanks much

In addition to Kappy's advice, if the issue is specific to your original user account and not the newly created user account, you can proceed in two ways. One is to log into your new account, make a list of the preference files (plists) located in /username/Library/Preferences/, including any in the ByHost subfolder, log back into the original account, move everything on that other account's list from the original account's Preferences folder into a newly created folder on the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can copy the ones in the Desktop folder (one at time) back into /Preferences/, restart, and see if the problem returns. If so, you've identified the corrupt/conflicting one. Continue with all of them until isolating the bad ones. That'll save you the trouble of resetting preferences.
The second way is much more detailed and I'll not burden you with the steps unless the above doesn't fix the issue.

Changing Filenames to all caps

Ever since snow leopard and now Lion some filenames have been changing to ALL CAPS for no reason whatsoever. Has anyone else had this issue? It happens mainly in Adobe Creative Sweet and Panic's Coda.

ReCapitalizing ALL CAPS Text?

Surely there's a way to do this.
It's been a very long since I've needed this function, but I distinctly remember way back when (long before Pages v1), a time when I could select a block of text which had been entered as ALL CAPS (typically something copy/pasted from another source), and reformat it to all lower case, to Title Case, to Sentence case, even to small caps -- whatever I needed to make it consistent with the rest of the document.
So far I can only get Pages' Capitalization function (via Format > Font >) to work on text which was originally entered in lower case. Any letter which was originally entered using its Shift- Capitalized form seems to be chiselled in cyber-stone.
PLEASE, please, Please tell me that Pages 2009 is not so powerless that it can't change a capitalized letter into its non-capitalized little brother?
THANKS -- I mean, Thanks,

I still wish though that Pages had this kind of thing built-in in a more readily accessible way.
The jury is still out on whether your wish will be supported in Apple's application model. Apple has specifically sought not to make the intelligence for internationalised imaging a part of the application model, seeking instead to separate the application model from the transform model. This has been opposed by software publishers who make and market software suites, including Adobe and Microsoft. There are two application models / business models for internationalised imaging.
Apple's model has been to provide a model for the small independent developer of character-glyph transforms (fonts) and colour-colourant transforms (profiles) to make and market intelligence in a plug-and-play manner. The intelligence is in the transform itself, in what is technically termed a transform for determinate, runtime-independent rendering.
Adobe's and Microsoft's model has been to incorporate the intelligence for internationalised imaging into the software suite intended for a standalone personal computer. The font or profile is in this scenario a client of the software suite and/or the operating system. OpenType and the Windows Color System are intended to work in this way as what is technically termed indeterminate, runtime-dependent rendering.
The problem with the internationalised drawing models for Unicode imaging and ICC imaging is I suppose political, because if there is no competition between the centralised indeterminate, runtime-depent rendering model for software suites and the decentralised determinate, runtime-independent rendering model then the power of graphic information processing is harnessed to the platforms of particular software publishers.
I know this is a hippie plot hatched in Cupertino in 1988-89 ... -:)

How can I get the Cover Flow text to be in all caps

I've only had one problem with the Cover Flow application for iTunes. All of my track names, artists, and album names are in caps on my library. When I switch to the Cover Flow view some songs are displayed with all caps, while others have the song and album in caps, but the artist is in lower case.
I've gone through all of my files and all of them have been correctly entered in all caps, yet Cover Flow still does not display them correctly. I've even gone through every album, got info, and made sure everything was in all caps. Still no succcess.
Any suggestions?
How about creating an option button to control Cover Flow's functioning on the next iTunes version? That would be nice.

Thanks, jere7my.
In other words, I should always make changes to my song text with the Cover Flow view selected.
I would never have the Cover Flow view selected while importing new albums, tracks, and artwork. I switched back to it after I was done personalizing my stuff. Thats when I started to notice they were still in lower case, even though I had changed them.

All caps display pattern

Can I make a text field display in "all caps" regardless of how the user entered the text?

In your script editor, at the top left hand corner, there is a drop-down which allows you to associate scripts with events for a particular field. So, if you have a text field, select it in your form and associate a change event script with it.
Hope this helps.

How can I format a form so that all text entered is "all caps"?

Thanks in advance for your help. I am trying to format a form so that all text extered is in "all caps". I am using Adobe Acrobat X. Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can use a custom key stroke script like:
// custom keystroke
if(event.willCommit == false) {
if(event.value.length < 1 ) {
// set first characater to caps
event.change = event.change.toUpperCase();
} // end lentgh less than 1;
} // end custom keystroke
And then a custom format or validation script:
// custom format or validation script
if(event.value != "" && event.value.substr(event.value.length -1, 1) != ".") {
event.value = event.value + (".");
} // not null and end last character not ".";
// custom format or validation script

How do I keep my name from appearing in all caps?

Since I upgraded to ML, my name in my email address appears in ALL CAPS. I've tried changing it to lower and upper case in preferences and in settings. It works for a while but goes back to ALL CAPS in a day or two.
It's extremely frustrating because having one's name in ALL CAPS comes accross as RUDE and SELF-IMPORTANT!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this is important. I was able to make it work (get rid of the all caps):
1. When you're in Mail, go to Preferences.
2. When you're in Preferences; go to Accounts.
3. When you're in Accounts; select iCloud and Account Information. From here, you may see your name in all caps greyed out in the [Full Name] part. You should also see where it says [Alias] to be a drop down list.
4. Select [Alias] and change it to (Custom). This should allow you to edit the way your name appears.
5. When you finish this part, Save it (by moving to a different section in the preference pane) and it should work.

Outgoing mail contains all-caps letters in "From" field email address

For some reason, all of a sudden Mail is sending email with all caps email addresses in the "From" field. Before the entire address was capitalized; now it's just my username (e.g. [email protected]).
This happened about a month ago and I noticed that in Address Book, my contact information (for myself) was in edit mode. I turned editing off and that seemed to fix the problem. But this time, Address Book is not even open. Any ideas as to why my outgoing email address in the From: field would change to all capital letters? It's definitely machine/software-specific as this does not happen on my other computer, a MacBook.

Hi Sara,
I believe that selection is controlled by attribute typed_context->mail->GV_SELECTION_FROM.
So, when you populate the possible entries in typed_context->mail->gt_default_from_addresses, just try to fill your desired default value in mentioned attribute and check if that works.
Kind regards,
Garcia

New iMac typing in all caps/symbols issue

Hello, I have a new iMAC purchased in October, 2014. About a month after using it I noticed it began typing in all caps or symbols instead of numbers. Whether I was online, using Word, Entourage etc. Checked online for others with same issue, did the Command +R...or restarted the computer and that would work for a couple of days, then back to all caps. I checked the battery, mouse/keyboard settings-everything was as it should be. So I called Apple Support and they sent me a new keyboard/mouse, worked for 2 days then the same thing started happening. Checked all setting again, seems like the left/right button were reversed in wireless keyboard settings so that the right button opened an icon and the left button gave options instead of vice versa. So changed that, again the mouse/keyboard worked ok for a few days now it's back to the same thing, all caps. Haven't had the symbols reappear though. Does anyone know why this is happening? I am thinking of restoring to factory settings and importing my files and such again to see if that will help...unless someone has a better idea or know the cause of this?
Thanks in advance

Could tell you for sure if you let us know what template you are talking about, but I would guess that it is because the default text box is set to All Caps. To change it go to Format Menu>Font>Capitalization>None.
Let me know if this fixed it for you. If it didn't, let us know what template you are experiencing this problem in.
