Pages: Table of contents goes all caps without reason

Hello all,


Since the last update of Apple Pages, I always get an uppercased table of contents. Even though I

did not do this myself. Please look at the screenshot attached.

It says that I don't have any capitalisation enabled, even though the table of contents appears to be

all uppercased. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Anyway to fix it?User uploaded file

TOCs have their own Paragraph Styles when you click on a text level in the TOC.


You should be able to then change the settings and update the Style.


Why it is doing this is beyond me, seems someone at Apple thinks this is a "Good Idea" as opposed to "No Idea".


They really have a very long list of things to fix and should avoid adding annoyances to plague their Users.

You mean lower case?


Click on the text > Sidebar should show Table of Contents > click on Text next to it > under the font styles is a bar with B I U and a cog > click on the cog > Advanced Options > Capitalization


In my case the text is not ALL CAPS and I could not apply anything.


I am using Pages 6.3 on macOS 10.12.6 we still don't know what you are using.

In Pages v6.3, whether you deliberately set all heading and heading 2 paragraph styles in your entire document to all caps, or not — when you generate the Table of Contents, it will force Title case on the resultant ToC entries. You cannot subsequently visit the generated ToC, and force All Caps on the entries — it won't let you.


Tested: Pages v6.3, Blank Template, macOS 10.13.0 w/Supplemental update.

As I said I am using Pages 6.3 on macOS 10.12.6 so can't fully test it, or I would. As I said my TOC is not being forced to All Caps.


Maybe one of the other Users who has installed High Sierra can confirm exactly what you are experiencing.


Also confirm my suspicions that this does not affect Pages '09 v4.3 on High Sierra.


I have no intention of switching to High Sierra for a while, except maybe on a disposable System on a spare external Hard Drive. There is nothing compelling about High Sierra.
