How can you auto-capitalize proper nouns like countries. I have the first letter of each sentence capitalised, but every time I type, for example, a country it is lowercase.

Sorry guys. Just made that keystroke myself in System Preferences / Keyboard / keyboard shortcuts
Simply select : application shortcuts
then : pages
click "+"
type : Title
and the keystroke you like (i put : sh+cmd+c , because the colors-toggle is less important to me)
i did a restart of my pages that was open
and done !
in reviewing my texts, changing to capitals is apple-simple now !
Try in Pages Preferences > Auto correction > Fix capatilsation
I don't use it as it havocs the swedish spelling.
Then if it is just a few countries add them in the Auto Correction and they will change
like this discussion ! in times of cryptic text messages... and i agree completely.
suggestion : in ms-word you can alt-cmd-C to make the first character of the word Capital. For the few who re-read what they wrote, this is an easy and comfortable tool/keystroke. (unfortunately no equivalent in mac-apps)
I have it on. I tried turning it off and then on again, but no difference. I keep getting "american", "english", "europe" in essays. It's not a big deal to go through and change them at the end, but it would be better if automatic. I can understand that some names are not recognised, but even common names stay lowercase. Thanks for the response though.
That's true, and I'll do that but I'm surprised that they have not been added anywhere in Pages. It is a serious omission, and the onous of doing it should not be on the user for such common usages. Hopefully Apple will fix this in an update.
Hello Peter your statement is not totally true.
You wrote :
American, english and european are adjectives and uncapitalised.
The truth is that they may be adjectives and may be nouns.
As a French, I'm an European which means that I'm an european citizen.
This european citizen need to enhance his knowledge of the English language.
But you are perfectly right about the fact that automatic capitalization of this kind of words would be really annoying.
So, from my point of view, for these words, there is nothing to correct except perhaps the knowledge of some interfaces between chairs and keyboards (I'm not thinking about you when I write this sentence). đ

What need to kill a predefined shortcut when cmd + ctrl + c, shift +cmd + ctrl + c, option + cmd + ctrl + c are free ?

You have to tell Apple but I find them slow to do good changes. http://www.apple.com/support/pages/
American, english and european are adjectives and uncapitalised, so be careful of making sweeping changes.

Did not verify. Just came up first. Sorry, you're right. Any one makes his own thing. But I leave mine ;-) I'm already happy it works and could be created so quickly.
