Text capitalization rules

When you use automatic capitalization, the program capitalizes the first letter of every word. It then lowercases all subsequent letters with the following exceptions:

• First letter after an apostrophe ("O’donald" becomes "O’Donald.")

• First letter after a space ("Mac donald" becomes "Mac Donald.")

• First letter after a hyphen ("Smith-jones" becomes "Smith-Jones.")

• Third letter when the first and third letters in a last name are both capitalized ("DeFazio" remains "DeFazio" and "McDonald" remains "McDonald.")

• First letter after “Mc” if the entire name is lowercase or uppercase ("MCDONALD" and "mcdonald" become "McDonald.")

  Note: If a name begins with "Mc" and all subsequent letters are lowercase, the program assumes this is intentional and does not capitalize the third letter. ("Mcdonald" remains "Mcdonald.")

• First letter after "Mac" if it is capitalized and all subsequent letters are lowercase ("MacDonald" remains "MacDonald.")
