Hi,
I don't understand. Why not just use either CAPS Lock or the Shift key to
capitalize? Unless you're using Macspeech.

Hi,
Yep, Text Edit has it too. It has some basic functions, certainly more than
Wordpad on Windows. However, if you want to do complicated editing, insertion
of elements and so-forth, you want to get a hold of Pages. It's a nice
application.
