Initial Caps word20
In Microsoft word 2007 I would like to have each line start with a capital letter is there anyway I can set that up in the preferences so that it will do it automatically. I did get the reply from Moonshine and I appreciate it. I have it set up correctly for the first letter of each sentence, however I am working with hymn verses and they are laid out in lines not necessarily by sentences and I'm wondering if it possible to capitalize the first letter of the lines?

Quote:
"He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake." Because of the Enter/Return, it treats the line return like a paragraph break, and thus recognizes the next line as a new sentence, regardless of the lack of ending punctuation in lines 1 and 3. By the way, to AVOID generating an auto-capital on the second line, I would touch the SHIFT key along with the return, thus adding a line break instead of a paragraph mark. |

If you're working with existing docs, they may have a manual line break at the end of each line. I tried replacing those with paragraph marks, but unfortunately that doesn't change the following letter to a capital, even with Moonshine's setting [which as far as I know is default] and closing & re-opening the doc.
I can't think of a way to fix that. Last edited by Lugh; 08-03-2019 at 11:39 PM. Reason: typo |

Use a wild card Find/Replace operation:
Find What: (^l)([a-z]) Replace With: \1\2 AND specify “ALL CAPS” for the Format associated with the replacement. Notes: The first line of each poem won’t normally be preceded by a manual line break. Its first letter will have to be uppercased manually. The last line of each poem will normally end with a paragraph break, and not a line break. |
