Hello everybody,

I am working with Lyx 1.6.3 on Windows xp (sp3) and I have a question about 
punctuation.

In short, I spend most of my working time with softwares like Microsoft Word or 
OpenOffice Writer and I am wondering if is it possible, with Lyx, to have the 
first letter always in capital letters (namely capitalised) after a punctuation 
which "requires" that. 
At least in Italian, French, English after a punctuation such as ? ! . (period) 
etc, you very often need to have the first letter of the new sentence 
capitalised.

For instance, with OpenOffice Writer when I type: "are you all right? Yes, I 
am" the Y of yes is automatically changed in capital letter (that is, Yes 
instead of yes) .
On the contrary, with Lyx I have to change the first letter manually every 
time. Obviously, I know it is not a great deal :-)
Nevertheless, in my opinion,  when you have to type a lot of text every day 
this option is really useful because it saves you a lot of time (you don't have 
to press the button Shift to make the first letter capitalised).

To sum up, is there an option in Lyx to have the same behaviour about capital 
letters as Writer or Word?

Best regards,

Silvio
