    Enter some text, (optionally chooose your font attributes), and from Format : Font : Capitalization : Title Case, change it. Click on the Paragraph Style down-arrow, and then click the blue + symbol. Now, name your new Paragraph style to Caption - Title Case, and press return. Enter some new text and apply your Caption - Title Case paragraph style to it.

     

    If you want this new paragraph style in future Pages documents, you will need to save it in your custom base template.

    You need to tell us which version of Pages you are using.

     

    Let's assume you are using Pages 5.x.

     

    Select some Caption style text > Menu > Format > Font > Capitalization > None

     

    Then update your Caption Style.

    Perfect.  I did not think of the menu bar Format menu.

    Many thanks

    It also exists deeply and obscurely buried in the Sidebar Text Formatting.

     

    The Menu is easier.
