How can I capitalize first letter of a line and lowercase the rest?

Submitted by speedracer on Thursday, 24 May, 2012 - 05:32

I want to select a line of text and convert all of it to lower case except for the first letter, which I want to be converted to upper case, if it isn't already. Is there a macro to do this? All I've been able to find is the macro that capitalizes the first letter of every word, which is no good for my needs. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi, 1. select the first char

Hi,
1. select the first character and choose "Edit -> Text -> To Upper Case"
2. select the rest of the line and choose "Edit -> Text -> To Lower Case"

Thanks Robert, but I'm looking for an alternative that allows me to make just one selection. When I have several lines of text it becomes time-consuming and tedious to make 2 selections for each line.

Rectangular selection

No, if You'd use Rectangular selection (see User's Guide ), then You can edit 100 lines in the same time as 1 line.
