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.

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.

Auto-Capitalization: How can I set Pages v5.01 to auto-capitalize the first letter of the first word in a sentence and to automatically change lower case "i" to "I" appropriately. I'm unable to find a menu that offers me these.

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'.

* 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 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.

Capitalize the first letter after full stop.

Since I m not a Java Programmer, my speciality is PERL. I m looking
for a little support from any of the Javascripts Gurus here. Its
going to take 5 or less minutes for you to solve this issue.
I have a textbox and I want when users are typing in it. The word
after full stop (.) will be capitalized just like MS-Word. I mean
the begining of the new sentence with capital letter, users don't
have to push "shift" button to capitalize the first letter after
every full stop .
thanks for your help.
Any Ideas,
Zeshan.

Try Google. Have you heard of it? www.google.com

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 change the first letter of a new line from uppercase to lowercase?

In filling in case sensitive id's and passwords, the iPad automatically capitalizes the first letter---how do you change to lower case?

You can shut off Auto Capitalization in the settings to prevent that from happening. Go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Auto Capitalization>Off.
You can change to lower case manually by tapping the "black X icon in the arrow" in the upper right corner of the keyboard to delete the capital letter and then type in the lower case letter.

Can we skip the first screen after call transaction has been performed?

Hello Friends,
I have written a program for INTERCATIVE REPORT .
When i click on the link it needs to call transcation MD4C.
I have written a BDC for calling the transaction and skipped first screen.Its working fine but the problem is that WHEN I TRY TO COME BACK TO MY REPORT OUTPUT USING(BACK OR EXIT OR CANCEL) BUTTONS THE CONTROL IS PASSING THRU THE FIRST SCREEN OF TRANSACTION MD4C and then its coming back to report output.
Now i dont need the first screen of the MD4C to be dispalyed when i use the BUTTONS.
That means i want to dirctly come to report output when i click (BACK OR EXIT OR CANCEL) BUTTONS.
Hope the problem is clear.
Is there any way?
Please do suggest me.
Thankx in advance,
Sanghamitra.

Hello everybody,
Thanks a lot for the quick replies.
The problem i m facing comes after the call transaction statement gets executed.
when the statement gets executed i m able to skip first screen and goto the required screen in the transaction but WHEN I PRESS BACK BUTTON THERE it is showing the initial screen which i have skipped.I dont want this scrren to be dispalyed.When i press back it should directly take me to the report output from where i have come to this transaction.
Hope i m clear now?
Any suggestions.
Regards,
Sanghamitra.

Still have the first letter missing when typing in forms

Thought this may have been fixed in 10.5. Anybody else experiencing the same thing?
MBP 2.4

I was using Firefox, not IE. Yes, all keys seemed to work just fine, as well as the keyboard and mouse, which made it so weird and hard to figure out. But it was all the mouse. I guess it had cancer.

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!

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.

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.

I have version 3.6.16 and when I login to my hotmail account, and type the first letter of the email address, a drop down box appears with my hotmail address and I can choose it from that box with a click. How do I get version 4 to do this? Thanks.

The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:
1) type in longer strings that narrow the search
2) use an add-on to search just the beginnings:

3) install an older version of TB:

Writelady,
I do not know of any such option. I don't think that it is even possible at this time, however it doesn't mean that maybe sometime in the future Apple or someone else will make a way to do such as your request.
I do however think that you should let Apple know your opinion if you have not done such yet. You can give them product feedback at the following link. https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
I hope that this helps,
