Apply a character style to capitalized words with the language [No Language].

Thank you, Willi, for your quick reply.

Unfortunately, I do not understand how your solution helps me find spelling errors for only UNcapitalized words.

Plus, it seems it would take forever to apply characters style sheet to every capitalized word in an 80-page magazine.

And what specifications would that character style sheet include?

You could use the GREP Find/change to apply the character styles. I believe this would work: Find "\u\u+" and apply the character style set to No Language.

 

The spell checker only checks words that have a language applied to them.
