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.)

Select the text, then Format->Change Case->Title Case (Word 2004).

Is there a way to auto capitalize the first letter of every word?

I Like To Type In This Way. I Was Wondering If There Is A Setting That Will Automatically Capitalize The First Letter Of Each Word So That I Don't Have To Keep Hitting Shift Before Each First Letter.
Thank You

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.

How to Capitalize the First Letter in Every Word in Mysql

Hi,
I have been trying to tidy up a massive database where visitors have been sloppy when entering text. The main thing I want to do is to Capitalize The First Letter In Every Word In Mysql.
I have found the code below in PHP but it keeps finding an error on the WHILE line:
<?php ini_set('display_errors', '1'); ?>
<?php require_once('Connections/maison_connection.php'); ?>
<?php
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT column, id FROM table");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row["id"];
$column2 = ucwords($row["column"]);
$query2 = "UPDATE table SET column = '$column2′ WHERE id = '$id'";
mysql_query($query2);
?>
My table is called MailingList and the Column is called Name, so I have altered the script to this: but it still shows the same WHILE error:
<?php ini_set('display_errors', '1'); ?>
<?php require_once('Connections/maison_connection.php'); ?>
<?php
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT Name, id FROM MailingList");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row["id"];
$Name2 = ucwords($row["Name"]);
$query2 = "UPDATE MailingList SET Name = '$Name2′ WHERE id = '$id'";
mysql_query($query2);
?>
Any ideas??

I got it to work this way in SQL: I am SURE there is an abbreviated way to do it, but at least it works
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," a"," A");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," b"," B");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," c"," C");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," d"," D");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," e"," E");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," f"," F");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," g"," G");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," h"," H");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," i"," I");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," j"," J");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," k"," K");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," l"," L");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," m"," M");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," n"," N");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," o"," O");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," p"," P");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," q"," Q");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," r"," R");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," s"," S");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," t"," T");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," u"," U");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," v"," V");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," w"," W");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," x"," X");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," y"," Y");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," z"," Z");

Try searching VersionTracker for "tag editor" and perhaps you'll come up with something you can use.
Oh, and I really don't mean this as a flame, but you waited less than twelve hours, most of those being the wee hours of the morning in the US. So you weren't likely to get a response during those times. Just to set expectations for future posts. Cheers.

How to Capitalize the first letter or an entire word using a shortcut on the keyboard just like in microsoft that uses shift+F3

please how can one How to Capitalize the first letter or an entire word using a shortcut on the keyboard just like in microsoft that uses shift+F3

What do you mean there was "no effect?" I'm not aware of any effects.
It looks like that Service is also in the App Store. From their screen shots, the services are prefaced with WordService:
You can see an example in the App Store for their app: App Store
After installing, you should now have those text services in your Services menu. You can then add shortcuts in the Keyboard System Prefs.
Most Apple apps have a Transformations menu in the Edit menu. You can Make upper, lower, and Initial caps with those. I would stick with Word Services, but you can make Application Shortcuts for the items in the Transformations menu.
Again, in Keyboard System Prefs, Under Applications, Click the Add button on the right side pane.
Set it for All Applications
Enter the menu command exactly as they appear in the Transformation menu (separate entries for each),
Make Upper Case
Make Lower Case
Capitalize
Give them a shortcut.

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
