Capitalizing words correctly can improve the readability and professionalism of your documents. However, manually capitalizing each word can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Luckily, Google Docs offers an automatic capitalization feature that can save you time and ensure consistent capitalization throughout your document. In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to enable automatic capitalization in Google Docs.

Step 1: Open your Google Docs document

First, open the Google Docs document in which you want to enable automatic capitalization. If you don’t have a document yet, create a new one by navigating to the Google Docs homepage and clicking on the “+ Blank” button.

Step 2: Access the “Preferences” menu

Next, click on the “Tools” tab in the Google Docs toolbar. In the dropdown menu that appears, select “Preferences.”

Step 3: Enable automatic capitalization

In the “Preferences” dialog box, locate the “Automatic substitution” section. Here, you will find a checkbox labeled “Automatically capitalize words.” Click on the checkbox to enable automatic capitalization. You can also adjust other settings related to automatic capitalization in this dialog box, such as capitalizing the first letter of sentences.

Step 4: Apply automatic capitalization to your document

Now that you have enabled automatic capitalization, any new words you type in your document will be automatically capitalized. However, if you have already typed content that you want to capitalize, you can select the text and use the keyboard shortcut “Command/Ctrl + Shift + A” to apply the automatic capitalization retroactively.

Step 5: Review and edit automatic capitalization

While automatic capitalization can be a helpful tool, it’s important to review and edit the capitalized words to ensure accuracy and consistency. The feature may not always capitalize words correctly, especially in certain proper nouns or acronyms.

  • Proofread your document and double-check for any incorrect capitalization.
  • Make necessary adjustments by manually editing the text. For example, you may want to exempt certain words from automatic capitalization or fix any capitalization errors.
  • Remember that automatic capitalization is not foolproof and may not catch all incorrect capitalizations, so it’s always a good idea to proofread your document manually.

By following these steps, you can easily enable automatic capitalization in Google Docs and save time while ensuring consistent capitalization throughout your document. This feature is especially useful when working on longer documents where manually capitalizing each word would be tedious. Happy writing!
