Autocapitalize On Mac For Text
Imagine you have a sentence in Word: Microsoft Word allows you to change a sentence into all caps with one keyboard shortcut But you suddenly realise you need it all in caps. How are you going to get it into capitals?
Surely you weren't thinking of retyping the whole thing in?! The shortcut SHIFT+F3 is what you need. Just highlight the text (no need to use the mouse for this, but more about that another time!) and press this key combination and you will see the text cycle from the original, to this: MICROSOFT WORD ALLOWS YOU TO CHANGE A SENTENCE INTO ALL CAPS WITH ONE KEYBOARD SHORTCUT with one keypress! By the way, if you press SHIFT+F3 again, you will get this: microsoft word allows you to change a sentence into all caps with one keyboard shortcut.and if you press it again, you get: Microsoft Word Allows You To Change A Sentence Into All Caps With One Keyboard Shortcut This is not that useful as we do not usually capitalize sentences like this in English, especially not the words like 'a, the, to' etc. But if you wanted just to capitalize the first letters of 'microsoft word' for example, this would be the ideal way to do it!
Auto Capitalize On Mac For Text Twist
So once again, that's SHIFT+F3! Why not give it a go now? Just in the right time. I'm doing titles for a documentary video. I'm just copying from a Word document but needed a quick reformat of some block of text. Thanks thats a useful tip, i couldnt find it in the MSFT documentation anywhere said. Thanks - this is a great time saver as I like to captialise database code in my documents - so i'll use it a lot!

In appellate briefs you need to capitalize entire headings so this was a quick fix for my silly mistake said. Glad it helped! By the way, I have since discovered that this is called 'title case' (as opposed to 'UPPER CASE' or 'lower case') It still niggles me though that in most writing, as I mentioned, including appellate briefs probably, we would not normally capitalise minor words like a/the/is etc. So it is annoying that Word's title case function does not take this into account. I have a macro that will do this, but never quite got it into a usable form. Maybe one day.

I just picked up my first mac today (well I guess technically yesterday) and I was wondering if there was any way to automatically capitalize the first word in the messages app or in pages; also auto capitalizing i to I. How to change text to upper case, lower case and set auto capitalization in Mac OS X Lion.
It helped out truly. Free mass text messaging. More short-cuts are welcomed. Glad you found it useful, there are LOTS more useful MS Word shortcuts that can save you time, I just have to find the TIME myself to write about them.! THANK YOU YOU HELPED ME A LOT. Thanks a lot!!!! You helped me very much Anonymous said. That is great!
However, there is more to capitalization for someone who watches their hands as they type and look up to see everything was reversed because they had the cap lock on.will word reverse the capitalization for lowercase to become upper as it was intended but also for upper to become lower case as it was also intended and thus render a normal typed sentence? Or do I have to keep retyping the whole thing? Anonymous said. This is a neat trick! Will save me a lot of time formatting my references!! Anonymous said.
