Pages won't capitalize first letter of sentence

I don't know if this is just me or if anyone else has had this problem but I find it kind of hard to believe I isn't a feature. My problem is that Pages doesn't seem to want to capitalize the first letter of a sentence. I can easily change it between "allCaps", "smallCaps" and none but can't make it automatically capitalize after a fullstop. Sorry if this is a stupid question, I've only recently gotten my iMac (love it) but constantly holding down shift is getting a little tiresome.
Thanks.

The free WordService from Devon Technologies has a service to capitalize the first word in a sentence.

    is this the only way i can get it fixed as i find the pages 5.1 better than pages '9
    Exactly how is it better than Pages '09?
    Is it the lack of Auto-Capitilisation? Or the 100 other fetaures Apple has removed from Pages 5?
    Or simply when it won't open its own files that makes it superior?

    You are talking about Pages 5, because we are psychic we know this.
    No.
    Use Pages '09.

  • Auto correct capitalization of first letter in sentence in Mail?

    I was used to Mt. Lion auto correcting my first letter in my sentences in Mail and now it does not.  The same is true for smaller case "i".  Sounds like both are not working in Mavericks Mail.  Hope this will get corrected (pun intended) in the next iteration.

    That has never been a feature of Mac OS X or Mail. I suspect you had a Mail plugin installed that was doing that for you, and that plugin must not be working in Mavericks.

  • How do I capitalise first letter of sentence

    Hi there. Just moved over to Mac and Pages, and love it, for the most part, except it doesn't capitalise the first letter of a sentence. for instance the "f" in "for" there does not come up automatically as "F" as it does in Word, and I believe in previous versions of Pages.
    I'm in Version 5.1 (1769), and Mac os x 10.9.2.
    Any ideas, folks?
    Cheers, Matt.

    If you never had Pages '09 before, no you will not have it. Only people who upgraded.
    There is a huge difference between Pages 5 and Pages '09, the previous version.
    Pages 5 is missing 100 features and is quite buggy. IMHO it is really an unanounced beta version.
    Pages '09 is superior in almost every area, with only a few minor exceptions.
    Even Pages 5's touted compatibility with iDevices is debatable and has the price of an unstable file format that is biting a few users in the bum.
    You won't be able to miss features you never had but the biggest concern I have is over the complex, proprietary file format that is practically unrecoverable when things go wrong, as they seem to do. One that Apple regularly dumps. Pages 5 and 5.01 can't even open Pages 5.1 format files, and Pages 5 damages previous formats.

  • 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.

    I was wondering if you can show me how to complete the script with "At()" function.I struggled a lot trying to implement javascript to capitalize the first letter of each word in a text box but apperantly I'm missing something. I appreciate your respond!
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
    <!--
    function capitalizeMe(obj) {
             val = obj.value;
             newVal = '';
             val = val.split(' ');
             for(var c=0; c < val.length; c++) {
                     newVal += val[c].substring(0,1).toUpperCase() +
    val[c].substring(1,val[c].length) + ' ';
             obj.value = newVal;

    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 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.

  • 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.
