------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 1 17:50:44 +0000 2007 ------- Dear Members! If you have a heavy or light hand, capitalisation tends to get wrong. Emacs and other decent editors have keyboard shortcuts to fix this. Browsing the file tree of an OOo 2.1.x installation dumped me into the "Capitalise" macro both in BeanShell and Python code. In OOo 2.1.x the elaborate auto-word-select code refused to work, you had to double-click to get it fully selected beforehand. This has been fixed in OOo 2.2.x. It is no problem to assign this to a key combination. Here my suggestions: A good key combination (I'll use Emacsese for these) is S-f3. This one did exactly the same as your "Capitalise" macro back in DOS-Word 4.0 and 5.0. I had also DOS-Word 5.5, but this was superseded too soon with WinWord 2.0a. In the Writer, fortunately you can assign this to OOo globally. This global option is not available in the other components. To popularise this, I suggest to configure the keyboard this way by default, and, not unimportant, advertise it in the help and the tips, albeit practically everybody switches off the tips. If he can search it in the help, much less traffic will be generated from newbies.
