Question

Cp9 Text Entry Box

I only see UPPERCASE or LOWERCASE option. No CAPITALIZED option or "Sentence Case" option (e.g., John Doe, instead of JOHN DOE or john doe). I would like all entered word to be converted in to "Capitalized" so they can be easily used for various purpose.

If this option is not available, what is the alternate? or is there another way to do it?

You are correct that there are no options for Sentence Case with the Text Entry Box.

As far as I am aware, you are the first person on this forum to ever ask about this missing option. Feel free to log an enhancement request with Adobe for such an option to appear in some future version of Captivate (perhaps).  But please be prepared to wait patiently.

If you want a solution somewhat quicker, you may need to look into engaging the services of a programmer.

I am surprised and disappointed that developers @ Adobe never thought about adding simple things/enhancements over period of time. They keep releasing new versions of Captivate and keep making money, but not adding basic features. I am really disappointed.

Hiring a programmer for this kind of feature? Seriously ! You guys should push out updates periodically to improve user experience.

I think you misunderstand something.  I don't work for Adobe.  I'm just a Captivate user like yourself. Chiding me about what you perceive to be gross oversights in Captivate's featureset is not going to get you anywhere.

As I pointed out earlier, the feature you want has (to my knowledge) never been asked about before on this forum. Adobe adds enhancements that MANY people request.  Have you ever even logged a request for this enhancement? If not, and nobody else did either, it's hardly surprising that it's not in there as yet.  I doubt that very many people even use (or even know about) the existing options to turn text into upper or lower case.

Adobe is a business and believe me when I say they're VERY keen to make their product appealing to customers in any way they can.  But the budget for developing extra features in the app has to be very carefully spent, otherwise money would get wasted developing things that few people would ever use, while the competitors hop in and steal the lead by developing things that actually sell product.

I know what I gave you before wasn't what you wanted to hear, but at least I'm telling you the truth.
