How do I set Pages to capitalise the first word of a new paragraph

Does anyone know how I set Pages to capitalise the first word of a new paragraph.

Hi Peter
That worked, thank you
However, what I was wanting was to set Pages to start every new paragraph with a capital letter
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello Argelius
If you select a word file in the Finder and do File>Get Info you will see a section in there where you can specify which application should be used to open files of that type.

How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?

How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?
I myself think that (for instance) "A tribe called Quest" should be sorted under "A", not "T".
Now I can edit the sort options manually per track and/or per selection, but I would really like to just kill this "iTunes-knows-how-you-should-sort"-feature in iTunes.
Anyone any suggestion on how to do that?
Thanks

Here is a modified version of one of Doug's Scripts. My modification was to add Sort Name to the list of tags that could be changed. I tried it on a single track and it worked. I recommend backing up your library first. Select the tracks you want to change (or all tracks) and run the script from the Applescript Editor. If it works as intended, save it so you can apply it to newly imported tracks. And, yes, I know this isn't the exact answer to your question, you want to change a preference setting in iTunes (if there is such a setting).
Original script can be forund at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=thistagthattag
Modified script is below. Start up Applescript Editor, paste it into a new window. Start up iTunes and select the tracks to modify. Click Run in the Applescript Editor. Follow the instructions.
(* Put This In That
v2.0 april 22 2008

How to set my pages to capitalise the first letter?

IO am not able to capitalise the first letter automatically in documents i am creating, it seams that pages is getting wors every time the new update comes out.

I agree, sharing options taken out, no capitalisation, sharing only link, how can i do it for those that uses microsoft, it was so easy earlier. Why is that happening, looks like a factory workers or giant team working on this one simple application and it takes ages to correct simple mistakes. thank you anyway for your help.

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 set up voicemail for the first time?

I feel like i am losing my mind. I CANNOT find simple instructions (even in the manual) on how to set up my husband's voicemail on the BB 8800. There are all kinds of questions and answers about voicemail, but I just need to know how to set it up for the first time. The message you get when you call the phone is "This user has not yet set up voicemail" (or something to that effect).
PLEASE HELP!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is simple in deed! Go to Call Log -> click Menu and select Options -> Voice Mail. Now in the Access Number put your carriers Voice Mail Box number. Some carrier requires access password which you can also put in the.
Let know if this helps.

How do I remove a space before the first word in a sentence using find and replace or GREP?

Right, so I am laying out a document in inDesign from a word document and it has a space before every first word in a sentence. It is really annoying and I need a quick way to get rid of them. I wasn't too sure how to do it with find/change but I am sure there is a way in GREP if someone can help me. I have included an image so that people can see exactly what I mean.

The ^ location works for all paragraphs.
But a note to the OP, there is a sample script called FindChangeByList that removes leading and trailing spaces as well as extra spaces after punctuation, all in one go. But if you want to continue to use a GREP find/change to remove leading space, I'd modify Joel's suggestion to ^\s+ to get those cases where the user typed multiple spaces as well.
And don't forget there are actually legitimate places for leading tabs, which both the script and this GREP will find and remove, so be careful.

Dictation + Word: how to prevent capitalising the first word of every phrase?

The dictation thing is great, I think it works slightly better in Yosemite, and I find it very useful. For instance, I'm using it to dictate this post. The only problem is that in MS Word, if I'm dictating a long sentence and I happen to pause for breath, or to think for a second, when I start talking again, Dictation restarts typing with a capital letter because it thinks I'm starting a new sentence.
This is turning out to be a real PITA. Does anyone have a fix?

Nice to see so many 'helpful' responses.
This casing is useful for example, on an Address field. It would be good if the OS had this option for developers.
I'm pretty sure it does as I've certainly had apps that, in certain fields, do use title case.

Can I get Pages to automatically use the first words of my new document as the title of it, the way Word does?

This s a very handy feature of Word that I would like to use also in Pages.

Run this huge script :

property title_len : 32
tell application "Pages"
          tell document 1
                    set newName to (characters 1 thru title_len of body text) as text
          end tell
          set name of document 1 to (newName & ".pages")
end tell
--{code}

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'.
Peter
* 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 set Page Width to Multiple Pages?

How do I set Page Width to Multiple Pages?
I notice when Cross Tabs are used, the report spans over several pages in width. Can I set this option without using a cross-tab? Since I am having trouble finding a paper width that is 100 inches wide, I was thinking of just using multiple pages.
Thanks,
Linda

Hi Linda,
Try inserting an OLEDB object and select a bitmap and insert a blank bitmap in report header. Now go to preview and right click on OLEDB Object go to format graphic>picture>change the width of the picture
If the width exceeds more than the width of the page then it create virtual pages.
Hope this helps!

How do I set a variable on the main timeline from within a symbol?

Just getting started with Animate and coming to it from Flash, as may be apparent from my question. How do you set a variable to the main timeline from within a symbol?
I have 24 pairs of clickable elements, each in their own symbols, and all 24 of those symbols sit inside another symbol. I want all 24 to be able to set the same global variable when clicked. I can't find that this question is addressed anywhere, which makes me think I may be stuck in a Flash mindset and approaching the task in the wrong way. (There are however MANY discussions of how to address objects at different levels in the hierarchy. That's well covered.)
Relatedly, how do you access a function on the main timeline from within a symbol?
Adobe should consider putting together a support page (or pages) just for folks migrating form Flash. In the materials I've encountered so far there seems to be a studied effort to refrain from mentioning Flash in any way. I imagine there are a lot of people out there like me who have a deep background in Flash coding, but are just getting started with Animate. We don't need help with most of the basic concepts, but we may still have some pretty basic questions about how to accomplish some things in Animate because our Flash knowledge is getting in the way.

Hi Bill,
There are plenty of threads on here about scope, but here's one way to create a global variable:
// code on Stage.compositionReady
sym.myGlobalVar = 1;
Then, anywhere in your project, you can check/set that var like so:
sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalVar = 2;
And here's one way to create a global function:
// code on Stage.compositionReady
sym.myGlobalFunction = function(){
console.log('myGlobalFunction');
Then, anywhere in your project, you can call that function like so:
sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalFunction();
