Talk to Google. Gmail is not an Apple product. Writing an email message is using the Google editor.

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.

Styling first letter in each line differently [was: Dreamweaver cs4 question]

I am trying to change the font in a group of text, I want to change the first letter of each sentence to a large size and different color and when I do this it changes the entire paragraph in the div, so how can I change the attribute of one letter in a word? Example: See how the first letter of each sentence spells out earth? I want to make those letters to stand out. CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO DO THIS??????

Your question went unanswered for nearly a day because of the meaningless subject line you used. Please take a moment to read How to get help quickly.
There are a couple of ways to achieve what you want. The way I would do it is to make each line a separate paragraph, and wrap them in a div with an ID called "earth". The following CSS style rule will make the first letter of each paragraph 24px tall and green:
#earth p:first-letter {
color:#090;
font-size:24px;
This uses the first-letter pseudo-element and applies it to all paragraphs in the earth div.

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.

Unwelcome caps on first word of each line in Pages 08

I'm brand new to Pages, though I've used AppleWorks for years.
I've searched exhaustively in "helps" for a/the way to disable the quirk of changing
the first letter of each line of copy to a cap when typing. (We still 'type' here in the
cornfields) I Would appreciate greatly, your help in finding an escape.
Thank you for any help,
ps

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".

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.

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

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.

Is there a command to capitalize the first letter of each word?

That is to say, can you capitalize the first letter of each word in a document like say, word? Or using the net?
Thanks guys.
(hope that makes sense.)

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
