Change text capitalization

You can set Numbers to automatically capitalize words at the beginning of sentences. You can also quickly make selected text all uppercase or lowercase, or format text as a title, with the first letter of each word capitalized.

Capitalize sentences automatically

  1. Choose Numbers > Preferences (from the Numbers menu at the top of your screen).

  2. Click Auto-Correction at the top of the preferences window.

  3. In the Spelling section, select the checkbox next to “Capitalize words automatically.”

This setting applies only to Numbers, and not to other applications on your Mac.
