ReCapitalizing ALL CAPS Text?

Surely there's a way to do this.
It's been a very long since I've needed this function, but I distinctly remember way back when (long before Pages v1), a time when I could select a block of text which had been entered as ALL CAPS (typically something copy/pasted from another source), and reformat it to all lower case, to Title Case, to Sentence case, even to small caps -- whatever I needed to make it consistent with the rest of the document.
So far I can only get Pages' Capitalization function (via Format > Font >) to work on text which was originally entered in lower case. Any letter which was originally entered using its Shift- Capitalized form seems to be chiselled in cyber-stone.
PLEASE, please, Please tell me that Pages 2009 is not so powerless that it can't change a capitalized letter into its non-capitalized little brother?
THANKS -- I mean, Thanks,

I still wish though that Pages had this kind of thing built-in in a more readily accessible way.
The jury is still out on whether your wish will be supported in Apple's application model. Apple has specifically sought not to make the intelligence for internationalised imaging a part of the application model, seeking instead to separate the application model from the transform model. This has been opposed by software publishers who make and market software suites, including Adobe and Microsoft. There are two application models / business models for internationalised imaging.
Apple's model has been to provide a model for the small independent developer of character-glyph transforms (fonts) and colour-colourant transforms (profiles) to make and market intelligence in a plug-and-play manner. The intelligence is in the transform itself, in what is technically termed a transform for determinate, runtime-independent rendering.
Adobe's and Microsoft's model has been to incorporate the intelligence for internationalised imaging into the software suite intended for a standalone personal computer. The font or profile is in this scenario a client of the software suite and/or the operating system. OpenType and the Windows Color System are intended to work in this way as what is technically termed indeterminate, runtime-dependent rendering.
The problem with the internationalised drawing models for Unicode imaging and ICC imaging is I suppose political, because if there is no competition between the centralised indeterminate, runtime-depent rendering model for software suites and the decentralised determinate, runtime-independent rendering model then the power of graphic information processing is harnessed to the platforms of particular software publishers.
I know this is a hippie plot hatched in Cupertino in 1988-89 ... -:)

Yellow boxes behind all caps text

I had a Quark 6 Mac file converted to ID CS3 Win using Q2ID and when I opened it I replaced the fonts with our own, however wherever the text had the all caps feature used in Quark (I guess) there are yellow boxes behind the letters. I can get rid of them only by selected the text and clicking off the All caps (TT button).
Is there another easier way to keep them as all caps and get rid of yellow boxes?

You have highlight substituted glyphs enabled in your composition
preferences.

Changing all caps text to lower case in PSE 7 ?

I have PSE 7.0, and am trying to add text to an image. When I add the text, and type it in all in
lower case, the text appears in all capitals, in text layer, and changing
my keyboard caps lock doesn't make any difference.
However, in the layers summary box on the right side of screen, the text appears in lower case - but when I save, or print etc, it always shows in all capitals!
Does anyone know any more about text editing in PSE 7.0?
Thanks so much!
Sasha

First of all be sure the font you're using has small letters and not just caps. If it does, then click the tiny triangle at the far left of the options bar and choose Reset Tool.

ALL CAPS spell-check?

Is there a way to spell-check ALL CAPS text in an Acrobat document as one can in Word?

Here's what I am trying to do. I have a form that I created using Adobe Livecycle Designer. The end user will fill in the form fields in the dynamic PDF form. One of the form fields allows users to type in free text such as a description etc. As they are typing in mixed upper-lower case sentences the spell-checker highlights any misspelled words. If the end user types everything in CAPS the spell checker will not work. Microsoft Word has the ability/option to spell check all caps. Acrobat apparently does not.

How can I get the Cover Flow text to be in all caps

I've only had one problem with the Cover Flow application for iTunes. All of my track names, artists, and album names are in caps on my library. When I switch to the Cover Flow view some songs are displayed with all caps, while others have the song and album in caps, but the artist is in lower case.
I've gone through all of my files and all of them have been correctly entered in all caps, yet Cover Flow still does not display them correctly. I've even gone through every album, got info, and made sure everything was in all caps. Still no succcess.
Any suggestions?
How about creating an option button to control Cover Flow's functioning on the next iTunes version? That would be nice.

Thanks, jere7my.
In other words, I should always make changes to my song text with the Cover Flow view selected.
I would never have the Cover Flow view selected while importing new albums, tracks, and artwork. I switched back to it after I was done personalizing my stuff. Thats when I started to notice they were still in lower case, even though I had changed them.

Trying to create bookmarks but the text is in all caps

We need to make bookmarks in a pdf. The previous versions of Acrobat (we upgraded to XI Pro) we could highlight text on a pdf, click bookmarks and the bookmark title would appear. Unfortunately the text is in all caps. If it possible to set it up so text won’t be in all caps?
The solution is to manually retype each bookmark from all cps to regular text. But if there is a workaround Id love to hear it.
Thanks.

Organize Bookmarks was renamed to '''Show All Bookmarks''' back in the Firefox 4.0 version.
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks or { Ctrl + Shft + B }
BTW, you will need to '''restore''' that JSON backup file, import is for HTML bookmarks files that were exported from a web browser.

I was in a Pages Doc and inadvertently had the Caps Lock on. How Can I change all the text I typed from Upper Case to Lower Case?

I was in a Pages Doc and inadvertently had the Caps Lock on. How Can I change all the text I typed from Upper Case to Lower Case?

Several protocols may be used.
Here I describe two of them.
(1) the one which I use : install and use the "Convert to Lowercase" service available in the free WordService
(2) copy your text, paste in TextEdit and enter the Edit menu.
I guess that you will recognize the items in your English menu.
I apologize but I don't know the English items.

Text Field All Caps?

I'm making an application form and prefer some of the fields to appear in all caps when a user types in information. Is there any way to make text fields font all caps? I looked under the font options but can only change the font, make things bold, italicized, underlined and a different size. Thanks!

There are two methods to convert a field to UpperCase. Both are used on the Exit event, and JavaScript language should be selected.
this.rawValue = this.rawValue.toUpperCase();
or,
var uc = TextField1.rawValue;
TextField1.rawValue = uc.toUpperCase();
I hope this helps.

Text Entry Field All Caps?

Is there a way to make the text entry field show all caps as an end user types?
Thank you,
cgoebel

Hi Lilybiri,
When you say "after submitting", what does that mean? I need the text to show as all caps as the end user is typing...and can then retain it if the lesson requires using the Retain Text property.
And since this may be possible via JavaScript, anyone have the script to share?
Thank you,
cgoebel

How can I format a form so that all text entered is "all caps"?

Thanks in advance for your help. I am trying to format a form so that all text extered is in "all caps". I am using Adobe Acrobat X. Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can use a custom key stroke script like:
// custom keystroke
if(event.willCommit == false) {
if(event.value.length < 1 ) {
// set first characater to caps
event.change = event.change.toUpperCase();
} // end lentgh less than 1;
} // end custom keystroke
And then a custom format or validation script:
// custom format or validation script
if(event.value != "" && event.value.substr(event.value.length -1, 1) != ".") {
event.value = event.value + (".");
} // not null and end last character not ".";
// custom format or validation script

Text tool is stuck in ALL CAPS mode

I am attempting to create a simple, mostly text logo, and when I attempt to use the TEXT TOOL, the settings seem to be stuck in ALL CAPS MODE.
I can't even see an option to change the text settings at all -- to adjust anything font-related (aside from what's on the default tool bar). For now, I must resolve this ALL CAPS issue, at the very least; I would also like to adjust any & all other standard font settings, including character spacing, kerning, etc.
Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you!!

Okay, head to Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Reset All Settings. See if that does any good. This will have no affect on the content stored on your device.

Wanted: document text headers in All Caps, but in TOC Sentence Case. How?!

We have headers in our document that need to be appear within the document body as all caps. When referencing them in the TOC using a different paragraphs style created specifically for the TOC, we need it to appear Sentence Case. Is there a way to do this?
InDesign CS5 7.0
Windows XP SP3

Joel gives you the right solution, ^.
Also consider that you can manipulate TOC entries by implanting invisible alternate headers on your pages. I've done this when I want the visible headers to be more descriptive, or "wordy," than the TOC entries need to be. For instance, (and this is just a silly example for certain), let's say you've got a header: "Why tie your shoes when Velcro is so quick and easy?" That may be long enough to foul the desired structure of your TOC, so you could put an alternate header on the same page; something like, "Laces vs. Velcro" and set its character color to none. With invisible headers and strategic paragraph style assignments, you can manipulate TOC entries any way you like.

Drop down menu turning to all caps after clicked in browser

Problem. drop down menu turning to all caps after clicked in browser, instead of staying upper and lower case.
Originally, I made the drop downs in fireworks CS3. Then when I work with them in dreameaver CS3.
It looks perfect UNTIL ... after clicking on dropdown once, then go back to that page and that particular dropdown menu turns to ALL CAPS instead of what it should look like.
How can I make it NOT do that?
I did NOT do any special code that I know of to cahnge anything, I hav not experienced this problem before.
Here is a link to my website I am designing.

I need help to fix this problem. Thank You in advance.
http://greenairenvironmental.com/3/Asset_Property.html
I have attached the automatically generated .css file from fireworks that might be the source of the problem.

Take a look for this selector in your greenair.css file:
a:visited {
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 16px;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    color: #9FCE62;
and remove the text-transform.

I wish to write that in fact, only the use of WordService gives a correct result.
Using Format > Font > Capitalization > All Caps doesn't change the characters, it just changes the way they are displayed.
If you copy a group of characters treated with this menu item then paste into TextEdit, you will get lowercase characters.
Its exactly the same behavior than the use of a format applied to number cells or date_time ones.
A cell which display 12:34:56 contains in fact 12 janv. 2008 12:34:56 if it was entered the 12 janv. 2008.
A cell which contain 123.6789 may be displayed as:
123.6789
123.679
123.68
123.7
124
All these displays are perfect.
With computer we must always remember that what we see is not exactly was is stored.
It depends of the applied format.
Back to Word processor, we may apply "All caps", "Small caps" or "Title". The display will change but the contents remains unchanged.
It's completely different of what we where accustomed to with AppleWorks which changed the contents itself when we asked it to apply the format "UPPERCASE".

All caps display pattern

Can I make a text field display in "all caps" regardless of how the user entered the text?

In your script editor, at the top left hand corner, there is a drop-down which allows you to associate scripts with events for a particular field. So, if you have a text field, select it in your form and associate a change event script with it.
Hope this helps.
