Capitalize First Letter in Numbered List - Big Time Waster

Posted: Apr 16, 2015

I already have Capitalize the first sentence checked in Autocorrect. Has anyone created a macro to automatically captialize the first letter of each item in a numbered list? Would so appreciate it.

Are you using MSWord? - xx

The default option in Word is to capitalize the first item in a numbered list. If that has been changed, just change it back.

that the default setting that automatically capitalizes the first letter of numbered items has been changed. Just change it back and your problem is solved.

Under the HOME tab, click on the change case icon, which is the thing that looks like big A, little a --- Aa --- that gives you the option for capitalizing each word like you want. So you can then make a macro to do that if you want. Just highlight the sentence first, of course.
Good luck!

Thank you I will give that a try - BTwaster

It did dawn on me that I could type in Word and copy it into the client. Takes me a while sometimes. Thank you for your tip - that will help.

Hey guys, this is for all the editscript users or people who can't use the auto list function in word. This macro will run through a list that looks like this: 2. cat. 9. dog 10. bird. 2. fish. and corrects the numbers to look like this: 1. cat. 2. dog. 3. bird. 4. fish. It stops after the list so nothing else gets changed. To use it, create an empty macro and assign a hot key. Then go in to edit the macr ...

A few weeks ago, for no reason that I can find, I cannot get the first letter of a sentence to be in all caps automatically, (unless I do it manually.) The same for the letter " I " by itself when typed. It was always automatic and now all of a sudden it is doing this and I cannot figure out how to change it back. Has anybody else had this problem, if so, how did you fix it? Thanks, appreciate the help ...

This is probably the last time I'll post on this forum--finally moved on from the Q this last week and start with another company Monday. The relief I felt leaving MQ was palpable. Our profession is doomed. And I say that not to be a frowny Fannie, but because it's a fact staring us all in the face. The problems with the Q , although vexing, are not what we have to worry about. Well, we do, but what is going to phase us all out is the electronic medical reco ...

I have one dictator who likes making sublists. I know how to make a list using Ctl + Shf + l to make bullets but don't remember how to make sublists (indented with bullets) or even sublists below sublists. I've looked all over the tutorials but can't seem to find it. Does anyone know how to do it? ...

I am just curious. About what percentage of lists that appear in your reports numbered, as in past medical history or medications, comes out correctly? I am guessing that with medications specifically, which I think it does a horrid job at, about 2 or 3 times a day out of about 20 reports, the list will come out correctly. The majority however is completely messed up, double numbers, wrong medications, etc. I can't believe what a piece of work voice wRECk is?! When I see the advert ...

Is there is quick way to add commas between items in a list? Of course, using Ctl K in front a word will change the punctuation, but it will also change a capitalized drug to lower case, and you will still have to get to the beginning of the next drug which will require 2 Ctl arrows and backspace. Ctl arrow takes you to the beginning of the next word, but you will have to backspace to put in the comma. Adding punctuation to lists is so time consuming! ...

When do you capitalize departments? I have been in the biz for 10 years, and my current QA staff is giving me conflicting feedback on my capitalization. One QA manager is giving me errors for not capitalizing, the other is giving me errors when I do! I was always taught that you didn't capitalize the department unless it was preceded by the proper name of the hospital (XYZ Hospital Emergency Department, etc). Also, as far as specialties, how do you handle those? For ...

How do you know when to capitalize departments. I've always typed emergency room, radiology, cardioliogy, dialysis. Now its Radiology, Cardiology, Dialysis, emergency room. Why isn't the ER capiltized if the others are? Also, if home health comes to a persons home to dress their wounds would home health be capitalized or if someone goes to urgent care is that capitalized? Can someone explain how I would know when to capitalize something. Otherwise I find myself losing time ...

Every once in a while my shift key doesn't take and I have a sentence started without a capital letter. Is there an way to create a macro that can go back and do that so that I don't have to either backspace out or stop and go back and correct and then carry on? I'm thinking to do a find function to go find the last period and then tell it to skip to the next letter, but I'm not entirely sure how that would go. If anyone's got any suggestions, I'd really app ...
