Problems with capital letters when importing a word file


Recommended Posts

I prepare booklets from word file I receive from different people, let's say Mr. A, Mr. B and Mr. C.

When I import a word file from Mr. A and Mr. B, there is no problem. Everything appears correctly: capital letters at the begging of each sentence appears in capital, and the rest of the text in small letters. Everything ok.

But, when I import a word file from Mr. C, all the text appears in capital letters in Affinity (which is not the case in the word file, where capital letters are used only at the begging of each sentence).

I don’t know if the problem is the word file I received from Mr. C, or something I need to change in settings.

Can you tell me how to solve the problem?

We would probably need to see the Word file. Is it something you can share here, or will you need a private upload link from the Moderators when they get to this topic?

Nothing I know of. Sorry. Perhaps someone else will know.

Perhaps Word has a setting or formate for the text called Sentence Case. This could turn ALL CAPS text into what you are describing. But it may not actually change the Case of the text in the Word document.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
