Greetings:

I am navigating one letter at a time in the test document. While capitalization is indicated for the first letter of the sentence, not so for the letters which ultimately print out as capitals.

Insert alt s to schemes. Then hit P for proofreading attributes and font. And that all caps should read to you.
