This is one of those functions that has existed in standard programs
since the days of early computers such as the Osborn computer and the
very first releases of programs such as Word Star and WordPerfect.
Functions such as you are suggesting is not rocket science, it is a
question of having the resources, time and inclination to program them
into a product such as DBT.
As I have said before, when and if Duxbury decides to replace DBT with
a new product, I hope that they will look at programs such as
Microsoft Word and WordPerfect with a view to incorporating functions
such as automatically capitalizing the first letter of sentences and
proper nouns, an Undo function, and other functions that are available
in standard programs into the new product.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
