I'm not sure if I never noticed this before or if I did something without realizing it, but now my computer won't autocapitalize the first letter of every sentence. Is there any way to enable autocapitalize text in Pages?
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1), null
Hi Bev,
Not directly, ut there are some third party applications that will let you do this after the fact. See this discussion, from earlier this month.

Oh darn. I guess that when I spent over a thousand dollars on a new computer, I figured it would have even more complimentary features than a PC, rather than lacking them completely and making me pay even more money for yet another program. My mistake.
Hi Bev,
Devon WordService is a free collection of services that you can install in your application menu. The "Change case" service in the collection won't quite automate sentence capitalization, but will change the first letter in every sentence of a selected block of text into a capital with a single trip to the application menu's Services section. The link will take you Devon Technologies, and a page of the freeware they offer.

Barry,
WordService is in the OS X app store.
However, its Initial Caps of Sentences service will downcase any proper nouns in the sentence when it capitalizes the first letter of the sentence. I filed a bug report with Devon, and they confirm it was turned over to their engineering team. For this reason, I am not recommending WordService, or more specifically, this particular Initial Caps of Sentences service item, until it is fixed.
I continue to recommend the shift key. 😉

Works for me! 😉
Thanks for the note on WordService. It's been a while since I looked at it, and it seems to have either disappeared from this machine when I installed El Cap, or to have been installed on my iBook some time in the past, and not re-installed on the MBPro when I got that. Can't have been something I used every day...
How do I enable autocapitalization? (for Pages 5.6.1)
