Dan:
Thanks for the information. I was unsure what happened to my
question on this as I never saw it and assumed it had been
somehow lost in the "inter web" ; 0
As for the missing/not functioning case change in Pages, you'd
think as they periodically update this software someone would: a)
recognize the problem and; b) fix it.
I was using pages but ended up using Word just because over time
it seemed to work better for my practice and I became more
familiar with it.
The Pages question came up only because of a form I filled out in
Pages but then couldn't change case - except manually. Inasmuch
as I work in .25/hour increments in a very tight schedule,
running into these sort of things cause some headaches.
For now, I'll just keep using word and hope someday, someone at
Apple resolves this problem.

--- In macsupportcentral@
Howdy. I'm copy/pasting some responses that seem to have gotten
lost
in the Yahoo world.
This is a weird issue in Pages and a significant feature that is
missing or doesn't work.
Fortunately there are multiple work arounds for changing case and
other
editing functions.
Try WordService first and see what you think of it.
WordService
This a a great free Service utility.
Download from:
<https://www.
<https://www.
and visit the maker's web site also.
WordService provides 37 editing functions such as changing case,
sentence case, Initial caps, straight and smart quotes, removing
line
endings and beginnings and attachments and links , sorting lines,
various date and time formats, paths, and more.
WordService works with a variety of Macintosh programs as a
Service
including TextEdit, Pages, Mail, Stickies, Safari, and more.
After downloading, decompress the downloaded file and add the
utility
within named
WordService.
to your User Account/Library/
Then restart your Mac or log out of your user account and log
back in.
You may need to check something and turn on some of the 37
features by
checking on the check boxes in
System Preferences >Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts tab, then
select
Services in left column.
Then scroll through the items in the right window pane and check
on
some or all of the new Services added by WordService.
The reason for this is that some of these services may have
shortcut
commands that conflict with other shortcut commands. You may
need to
experiment with changing the shortcut if you use one that you
need that
conflicts.
Then open Pages, open a document with text, select some text,
choose
the Pages menu and pick Services and you should see the
WordService
items you checked to turn on in Keyboard Shortcuts.
Same Services will work in many applications including the
GyazMail
email program I'm using to write this message.
Good luck.

Where text is all in capitals is there a way to then highlight
all
the text in all-caps and change it to all small letters?
I tried what Pages help advises but that doesn't change anything.

John,
I never saw your original post but did see it quoted in Dan's first reply.
Even after all the years Pages has been around it still has this absurd
omission, despite the fact that TextEdit *does* have this obvious function.
WordService from Devon Technologies is an excellent and free fix for Pages,
though, and any other app where its options apply.

I cannot find an e-mail address or form to complete, so at least someone at Yahoo can explain what might have happened to mmy mail configuration and fix it. Is there a way to contact them?
I wish someone in this group with some technical understanding could explain why my e-mails have been impacted and a family member using this same computer and the same type of Yahoo Mail account but with a separate
address, has not experienced any changes.
Thanks again,
Bally Rick

I can only suggest going to Yahoo and comparing your settings/preferences
with those of your family member. Perhaps Yahoo has changed yours without
your permission? You are both using Yahoo Mail as webmail, yes?

When composing a message in Apple Mail on my iMac and MBP it does
the "auto-complete" but on my iOS devices the auto complete
doesn't work anymore. Any suggestions for getting it back? BB

Just following along to learn. What at iOS are you running Pat, because I don't see auto-complete?
On my iPhone, at Settings>General>Keyboard, I see: Auto-Capitalization, Auto-Correct, Check Spelling, Enable Caps Lock, "." Shortcut, Keyboards, Shortcuts and Add New Shortcut, but no auto-complete.
Shortcuts have to be manually entered, so I don't think that is what BB is calling auto-complete.
But then again, I don't see auto-complete in Apple Mail, either. I think BB has a third-party app running on his Macs.

I don't know of a auto-complete function in OS X.
Are you sure you don't have a third party app, like TypeIt4Me running on the Macs?
(Funny, Pat's response arrived at my Mac, an hour and 9 minutes before your question.)
