Question

Notes defaulting to all caps

This is not the first time this has happened to me, but the problem went away for a good while. Now it's suddenly back. Every time I type a note, it's in all caps (I don't have the caps lock button on). This is happening on two different Macs, even one that I recently completely wiped and re-loaded with Adobe software.  I can turn it back to normal if I highlight the text and either hit shift-command-k or go to the Paragraph Styles panel and select "basic paragraph," but both are a little bit of a pain. I can't find any options in the preferences section that will fix this. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there some place you can globally set paragraph styles for Notes?

    We are also having this issue. One InCopy template is fine, the other has notes in All caps and cannot find a way to fix. Trashing InCopy preferences did not solve the problem for us. Any other ideas?

    When I've seen this, and things like it in the past, it has been fixed by resetting InCopy's preferences. I have no idea what the cause is but something gets corrupted with the default way the font is displayed/used.

    Thanks! The problem randomly went away again, but I'll try this method the next time.

    Turn your keyboard over and gently tap it on the desk. See what falls out! 😜

    Seriously, I've had keys stick from stuff in the keyboard.
