There is no easy way in Word to cap after colon is there? - I wonder if


Posted: Dec 05, 2014

a word expander like Speed Type would do that?  And can you use Speed Type along with MS Word?  And transfer over all your AutoCorrect entries easily?  I emailed the company but haven't heard from them.  : (

I found this handy option - Beach Glass Lover

You can write (or record a) Macro inside of Word to essentially do this. The linked page below has the code.

Yes - agree with Beach or do an autocorrect - Didi

I am new to using Word and Autocorrect...Thanks!

You can do that with Shorthand. - see message

Shorthand works with Word (it works with basically anything you have open on your PC where you are typing).

Shorthand will cap after a colon, and it has a keystroke recorder which can "record" any function that you perform with your hands on the keyboard - and then assign a short cut to it.

You can also import Autocorrect entries into Shorthand.

I use editscript with another MTSO. Holding down alt/shift then - click colon caps word after colon. SM

There must be a blank space between where you will put the colon while holding down alt/shift and the word you want to capitalize. I don't know if this is just for my MTSO or editscript overall

Go stand somewhere in public.  Maybe connect up with Occupiers in your area.  Just stand there with your sign.  Have a friend take a pic,and post it online.  Maybe stand outside a local hospital or other health care clini ...
