Styling first letter in each line differently [was: Dreamweaver cs4 question]

I am trying to change the font in a group of text, I want to change the first letter of each sentence to a large size and different color and when I do this it changes the entire paragraph in the div, so how can I change the attribute of one letter in a word? Example: See how the first letter of each sentence spells out earth? I want to make those letters to stand out. CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO DO THIS??????

Your question went unanswered for nearly a day because of the meaningless subject line you used. Please take a moment to read How to get help quickly.
There are a couple of ways to achieve what you want. The way I would do it is to make each line a separate paragraph, and wrap them in a div with an ID called "earth". The following CSS style rule will make the first letter of each paragraph 24px tall and green:
#earth p:first-letter {
color:#090;
font-size:24px;
This uses the first-letter pseudo-element and applies it to all paragraphs in the earth div.

Unwelcome caps on first word of each line in Pages 08

I'm brand new to Pages, though I've used AppleWorks for years.
I've searched exhaustively in "helps" for a/the way to disable the quirk of changing
the first letter of each line of copy to a cap when typing. (We still 'type' here in the
cornfields) I Would appreciate greatly, your help in finding an escape.
Thank you for any help,

How to capitalize the first letter of each word in a sentence?

Can anyone please explain how to split a sentence at a comma, or space or hyphen in to words and capitalize the first letter of each word. But I don't know how many words the sentence contains.

HI,
data : begin of itab occurs 0,
words(40),
end of itab.
data : v_sentence(1000).
data : lv_firstchar.
split v_sentence at ',' into table itab.
loop at itab.
translate itab-words+0(1) to upper case.
modify itab index sy-tabix.
endloop.

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).

Select first word in each line of a text file to do something.

How do I select the first word in each line to do something newer from a text file in Powershell?
Example:
GBL Primary File
local Primary File
localhost Primary File
Opstest Primary File
TrustAnchors Primary File
99upgrade

Hi 99,
here's an example on how to do it:
$lines = Get-Content "C:\ExampleFolder\Example.txt"
foreach ($line in $lines)
Write-Host ($line.Split(" "))[0]
Just replace the Write-Host line in the loop with what you actually want to do with the first word in the line.
Cheers,
Fred

First letter of each sentence in pages!

how can I fix the first letter in each sentence, it doesn't turn to uppercase automatically, although i have tryed to choose none, title case etc. in the advanced setting? what should i do?

We guess you are talking about Pages 5. You didn't say.
Feature dropped by Apple along with 100 others.
Pages '09 can capitalise the first letter of sentences automatically.

First letter on a line only partially printing

HP 3310 Photosmart All-in-one
On almost every page printed, the left-most part of the first letter on (mainly) the first line of the page does not print. Frequently, first letters on subsequent lines (not necessarily consecutive) also only partially print. Sometimes, interior letters have the same problem.
I have changed cartridges several times and cleaned print heads several times (although the test sheet printed when cleaning printheads is invariably perfect). Sometimes the very lowest portion of several letters in a row will not print.
The problem happens with different paper stock, different fonts, and different cartridges (including genuine HP cartridges.

It sounds like you have an issue with the ink drying out in the printheads. This could be caused by a defective service station area (the part that caps the printheads while not printing), bad ink or by turning the power off to the printer before the printheads have been put away properly.
It would take a long time for a change of ink cartridges to actually show up at the printheads, there would be a significant amount of ink that remains in the system even after a cartridge change. You say you have used different cartridges (including genuine HP cartridges). Does that mean you have used non-HP ink? I would suggest putting in HP ink and running several (three or more) cleaning cycles but unfortunately if you have used bad ink it may be very difficult to flush this out of the system.

HT3669 Latest Mac OS Update Driver for Canon 9500 Pro causes text lines all to be printed over the first letter of the line?

Anyone know how I can 'fix' the Mac OS printer driver for the Canon 9500 Pro - all my text lines end up with the whole line being printed over the first character of the line of text when printing PDFs. It has ruined a lot of work.

I'd try this:
Delete the current printer (reset the print system) Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Delete all other Canon software and utilities from your computer.
Do a factory reset on your printer
Use Software Update to download the driver from Apple.
Don't reinstall any other Canon Utilities.
Make sure you don't have something mechanical stopping the paper from advancing.
If the problem is really the driver, then you could look in Gutenprint for a different driver. Gutenprint for Mac OS X

I don't want the first letter of every line to be capitalized

When I try to put in user id's and passwords on web sites, I don't always want the first letter to be capitalized. How do you make the Ipad stop doing this?

Settings -> General -> Keyboard
Turn off Auto-Capitalization.

Linking to a specific section of a page [was: Dreamweaver noob question]

Hello everyone, I am rather new to dreamweaver and am required to use it at work to update the company website. Long story short we have a list of databases. In this list of databases there are several subsections, for instance. Automotive,Government, Health, School, etc. They are all on the same page so essentially it is a long list. After updating the databases the link now brings you to the top of the page, regardless of what you click on.
So my question is, how do you make a link take you to a certain scroll section, say 25% down the page, 50%, etc ,etc.
Thanks again to anyone taking the time to read this post and shed some light on my situation.

How to retrieve FTP connection settings for live website? [was: Dreamweaver MX question]

We have a website that is live (and hasn't been edited in 5 years), but we cannot update it because the company no longer owns the computer which had Dreamwewaver MX installed on it and thus all the settings are lost. I downloaded Dreamweaver MX on another computer and have all of the files for the site, but don't know how to "reconnect" this to the live site. Can someone please advise?

Once you have all your FTP info, you'll create a new, blank site in DW.
Once that is created, you connect via the Files window (little plug in icon) and choose Get (down arrow). That should prompt you with "Download entire site?" to which you should click "Yes".
That will download the entire current site from your server to your computer's HD. From there, you will simply edit the pages locally, test them in the browsers installed using Preview In Browser, and then upload to the website, overwriting the online files.
DW cannot edit files on your server directly, it's designed to work locally, then upload and overwrite files on the server.
