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.

    I work on dual screens on a new mac pro but when I do the 4 finger swipe it moves both screens, is there a way to move just the screen that is active?

    Multiple desktops and dual screens really aren't meant to work together. Apple came up with this multiple desltops feature and never really thought about users that use a dual monitor setup. So use either multiple desktops OR dual monitors but not both. Also don't try to use any App in Full Screen Mode as that doesn't work with dual screen setups either.

  • Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

    I have a custom built Java 6 application that doesn't like Photoshop CS5 64 bit edition.  The program copies over a file from the network to the local machine and then opens it in Photoshop.  The user manipulates the image and saves the changes.  The user then completes the image and the application copies the image back to the server.  The problem we're having is: When we use Photoshop CS5 64-bit, it takes about 2 minutes for Photoshop to open the image.  The file is copied over within 2 seconds and the Photoshop icon on the windows taskbar starts flashing.  But then you spend a few minutes waiting for it to open.
    Some things that I have tried to isolate the problem:
    - I found you can copy the file somewhere else, double click on it and the image will open in Photoshop before the script is able to open the file.
    - I tried uninstalling Photoshop and reinstalling just the 64 bit edition without the 32 bit installation.  The script just stops working in this situation.
    - I tried uninstalling CS5 and installing CS3.  The image opens as soon as the file is copied over.
    What I would like to try next is to install just the CS5 32 bit version.  But the installer is being uncooperative and will only allow either the 64 bit version or both the 64 and 32 bit versions.  So, back to my question: Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

    Do you mean schroot?  If so I'm not sure exactly how well that will work out, because the part that depends on python is a deamon that handles communication between the USB dongle and the Tux Droid which may mean hacking the deamon a bit so ether way this does not seem like it will be a easy task.

  • Filliable PDF to Excel- tell me Is there a way to export just the information typed in the fields?

    I created a filliable form with over 100 sections. I purchased Adobe's ExportPDF to extract the information to and Excel sheet. However every time I upload a completed PDF it only converts the format and doesn’t capture any of the fields’ typed information. I thought that was why I named each field something when creating the form.
    Is there a way to export just the information typed in the fields? 

    Hi,
    ExportPDF is just a convertion tool, it is not meant for extracting information out of the form.
    You may want to consider Adobe Acrobat.  You can extract information from form fields via Tools> Forms > More Form Options > ExportData.  If you'd like to try it out, we offer a 30-day trial of Acrobat X Professional for Windows here: http://www.adobe.com/go/tryacrobatpro/

    I have converted a number of songs to mp3 format on my iMac, is there a way to view just the songs that have been converted in iTunes?

    You can view tracks in a given format by selecting to show the Kind column. If you mean you want to determine which specific MP3 tracks you have that were converted by iTunes as opposed to being imported in MP3 format, Get Info on a track and look at the "encoded with" field.

    The system doesn’t recognize or capitalize the word (I) or the first word of every sentence. Another really annoying thing about the integrated mail on your Mac computers is the fact that the system learns the word as you type it more and more instead of highlighting it as incorrectly is this is a word that’s being misspelled. Can Apple fix this bug to make it user friendly as if you were using Office or a Word Document?

    You hit the target CT.
    It’s only fair that if Apple is going to integrate Mail into Mac PCs, it would be nice if the system does it for you like Office or perhaps Outlook. I just don’t to use Outlook although I have it installed and ready to use, but instead use Mail which comes with Mac OS already.
    I hope to make some sense here.

    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.

    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 !

  • Is there a way to record just the arpeggios and not the notes being played?

    I am recording the Arpeggios from my Motif rack ES into Logic Pro 7.2 in midi format but when I try to do this, the notes that I play on the keyboard also get recorded along with the arpeggios? Is there a way to record just what's coming out of the midi out (of motif rack es) and not the keys that you are pressing to kick off the arpeggio?

    Either check your Motif's owners manual to see if you can disable the keys or make sure the keys are out of the arpeggio's range and use a transform object in the environment to filter out the unwanted notes.

  • Is There A Way To Save Just The Masked Area As The Rendered Video?

    Have a little 10 second clip.
    Masked out the object of interest, and tracked it, with Track Mask.
    Is there any way, to render only the masked section, as the final rendered video, so that the final render does not include all the black area around my mask?
    Yes, I could render out with Alpha, but that will still leave a "bigger than the cropped area" video size.
    Thank you

    If you have set up a masked area and you want to render a video with a transparent background simply add your composition to the render queue. In the output module click on the down arrow and select lossless with Alpha as your output format. This will render a digital intermediate with an alpha channel useful in your nonlinear editor or in After Effects.
    Media players such as QuickTime or Windows media player will not recognize the alpha channel. If you are planning to put a transparent video on the webpage for example, this will not work because the Web does not support transparent backgrounds in video.

  • 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.

    When trying to troubleshoot my problem I discovered a forum that was saying certain NTFS drives work just fine
    Apple support says that an NTFS or exFAT drive cannot be used when connected to the AirPort Extreme.
    I suppose it is possible that someone might have been using some type of special software on the drive that might perform a "conversion", but without more details, it is hard to know.
    Note: ExFAT and NTFS formats aren't supported.

  • Is there any way to close just the "current tab" in firefox rather than all 3 or 4 that may be open and lose the entire web page?

    If I am on a website and open a few different pages, and then decide to go back to an earlier page, or close that particular page, I get a message that says you are about to close 3 tabs or 4 tabs etc. If I only want to close the "current tab" I am on, I was able to do that with Internet Explorer. Is there any way this can be done on Firefox?

  • Is there a way to test for the first calling of a function?

    Hi,
    I created a function (using other functions I created) to
    build a dynamic hierarchy tree menu based on parentID and itemID
    etc etc - I'm sure you're familiar with this concept. It works
    great, and there's no problem there.
    However, I do this all by building it into a string, then
    dumping it on the page. Yet again, this all works fine. However,
    because the function gets called recursively, my class,
    class="tree" gets repeat accross every occurance of the opening UL
    tag.
    I only want this class to be applied to the first UL, but
    because this is recursive, I'm not sure of a way to detect if the
    function is being called for the first time or 5th time, etc. I
    want to say something like:
    <cfif myFunction is being called the first time>
    add the class
    <cfelse>
    don't add the class
    </cfif>
    Please see my code attached. It is fully working. Please
    don't worry about what all the other functions do etc, they are
    working fine, but I need a way or variable to test against.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Michael.

    > a dynamic
    > hierarchy tree menu based on parentID and itemID etc etc
    Is it too late to revise the way you are implementing your
    hierarchy? This
    approach is very resource intensive (because you need all
    that recursion),
    and very slow for most operations.
    When dealing with hierarchies, I use the nested set model
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_set_model).
    Can I recommend you have
    a look, if you have the chance?
    The code is more complicated, but it is really very quick for
    fetches.
    It's slightly slower for create/update/delete operations, but
    for web
    sites, the vast majority of operations are reads.
