How do I enable "auto-capitalization" on Pages 5.2?

I'm still used to Microsoft Word which would capitalize for me, at the beginnings of sentences, proper nouns, etc. Pages must have have it, right?

The auto-capitalization feature still does not exist in Pages as of v5.2. It does exist in Pages ’09 v4.3, a prior release, that if you had it installed, the Pages v5 install would have moved it to /Applications/iWork ’09 folder.
The freeware Devon Technologies WordServices Service suite of tools has a feature that for all selected text, it will perform the auto-capitalization feature for you. This does work in Pages v5.2. Its either Pages ’09, the shift key after full stop punctuation, or the WordServices tool. For now.

  • How to turn on auto capitalization on my mac?

    Hey guys,
    I want to know how to turn on auto capitalization on my mac. Because this helps me to type faster in pages, keynote, etc.
    Could y'all help me out?

    because Apple has most of its products, phones tablets and software that start with small letters despite being proper nouns, in Apple's world it's normal to use small letters for proper nouns and start sentences with small letters.
    you will have to get used to the shift button and get a bit slow on your typing. after some time you'll get used to it.
    this does sound frustrating but i agree with other users that the fact that you are using an expensive Mac does not relegate you to inferior word processors. go ahead and install office for Mac and enjoy!

  • How can I enable self capitalization of the pronoun "I" when using my Mac Pro?

    I'm trying to see how to enable self-capitalization for the pronoun "I".  This would be helpful when starting a sentence and/or when using the pronoun within a sentence. I tried system preferences and substitutions, but that will only work with words that have more than one character.  HELP!!! Thanks!

    Go to System Preferences>Keyboard>Text. Click the "+" sign on the lower left part of the screen. Add the auto correction so when you press "i", the OS automatically changes it to "I".

  • How do I stop auto-capitalization?

    I have seen threads where people are complaining about auto-capitalization in certain applications. For me, it does it system-wide, all applications.
    I have gone to Edit > Spelling and Grammar and unchecked all options. It doesn't matter what I do, it ALWAYS auto-capitalizes the first word after a Return. Doesn't matter if I am in Pages, Evernote, TextEdit, whatever.
    I also went to System Preferences>Keyboard>Text and unchecked "Correct spelling automatically. Didn't fix the problem.
    Anyone have a fix for this issue?
    Gary

    Thank pmiles. I found that TextExpander was the culprit. I've had it installed for about a year but it just started doing this recently. Anyway, I found the preference option that had been turned on. Fixed it and it's all good now. Thanks again.

  • How do I enable auto completion for Java?

    I'm used to using Eclipse with its most excellent auto completion (ctrl-space). I also like the macro capability (type "main" then ctlr-space to insert a main block of code). Is there a way to do this in XCode? How do I enable it?
    Thanks,
    Alfredo

    Hi Alfredo
    This feature is available in the version 2.2 of Xcode for Tiger. You just turn it on in the Preferences setting.... however, I found it so annoying that I turned it off after a week or so! Perhaps you'll have better luck.

  • How do you enable Auto Scroll in a sequence pane, and MIDI devices?

    Hello,
    I am just getting used to Garage Band for the first time. I am finding that Garage Band is much easier to deal with than Mark Of the Unicorn from a musical standpoint.
    I am now converting my many MIDI sequences to GB. I have run into these three issues that I cannot seem to figure out.
    1. I have both the "Main Secuence" pane and the "Piano Roll/Score" pane arranged vertically. But the Secuence pane auto scrolls, as the timing progresses, but the "Piano Roll/Score" pane does not. How do I get these two windows to enable/disable auto scroll?
    2. How do I select from a starting bar to ending bar, for a given track, coping it, and pasting it to another track in the another track's sequence point?
    3. How do I add other MIDI decices that I have pysically connected, and assign specific tracks to these physical MIDI divices and their defined Timbers?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Jeff Cameron

    Thank you very much, Cristoph!
    With your help, you have answered both questions 1 and 3.
    Concerning question 2, I can see that when I click on the track header, the entire track is selected, but I am trying to physically select from one bar to another in that track.
    I've tried clicking on the start bar and draging to the end and releasing. The whole track is still selected.
    I've tried holding down the Shift key and doing the same. Still the whole track is still selected.
    I guess I am missing the basics of marking and selecting the start and end point from within a basic track.
    I'm already much farhter along with your help, and I appreciate your help, very much!

  • How do I enable auto-complete for gmail password? I have five accounts and it works for 3 of them but not the other 2.

    I have five gmail accounts. Three of them have the auto-complete feature enabled for the password. The two most recent accounts do not auto-fill so I must type in my password every time. The auto-fill works fine on my laptop but not on my desk-top. My operating system is Windows XP.

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

  • How do you enable auto-updates for extensions?

    I'm trying to set up my extension to check for a newer version in when the Extension Manager is run. I vaguely remember reading about adding an element to the manifest.xml file where the element is the URL of a .zxp file. It then checks the version number of the file at that URL against what is currently installed. I've check the Extension SDK pdf and have found nothing. Any insight into this would be awesome!

    Yes - same stuff! There's also a web version, the specific page you're interested into is: http://helpx.adobe.com/extension-manager/kb/make-extensions-updatable.html

  • How can I enable auto-sizing for forms? Only 1 line shows at a time.

    The form I use to enter calendar information (in Microsoft SharePoint) used to show the whole form. Now when I try to create a new calendar entry I get one line visible. There is a vertical scroll bar to the right which allows me to see the whole form - one line at a time. This was not the case last May (which may have been the last time I was making new calendar entries). I've tried disabling all plug-ins, but that doesn't affect anything with the calendar entry.

    There are a few issues here, ie
    "uid=jwalker, ou=People, ou=test1,o=test.com.cn" has no parent.
    Did you create ou=People, ou=test1,o=test.com.cn before you tried to create above dn?
    Also, your suffix naming is very poor and will result in more problems later on especially since you want to create sub suffices.
    you should use the DC notation, ie dc=test,dc=com,dc=cn that way you can easily attach o=test1,dc=test,dc=com,dc=cn
    This way you would be able to keep your separate suffices inside separate database files and you will have less headaches when you try to replicate and do bulk re-initialisations.

    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.

  • Apple Mail - how to get the first word in a sentence to auto-capitalize

    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 !

  • How can I stop auto refreshing a new web page in XP immediately after its opened?

    In XP, once I access a new web page Firefox auto refreshes that page once the page is ~80-90% opened - how can i stop this refresh?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • How do I enable flash and java on firefox23 as I have the latest versions installed yet the plugin page shows "disabled" with no option to enable

    I have updated to Firefox 23 and it disabled my Java and Flash plugins. I then updated these to Flash 11.8.800.94 and Java to Version 7 Update 25. Now these are showing up on the plug in page but are showing "disabled" with no option to enable. How do I enable them to view content on the web.

    Thanks Philipp but i have already done that and the content started working...
    However, when i closed and restarted the browser it returned back to the same settings...
    I dont think that should happen, but anyway thank you for the solution. At least I can use it by resetting the values if need be
    Appreciate your help

  • How can I set the insert date to auto update in Pages 5.2.2

    how can I set the insert date to auto update in Pages 5.2.2
    I am attempting to have the date in header auto update in a Pages file.
    I can insert it, but where is the AUTO UPDATE selection
    OS10.9.4
    thank you

    Apple never included the auto-update feature for dates in Pages v5.2.2. You would have to single-click the date, and deliberately update it.
    If you have Pages ’09 v4.3 in /Applications/iWork '09, then it will allow you to configure auto-update of the date field. Right-click on the date, set the format, and click the selection for automatically update on open.
