How do I get the first letter of a word capitalized when indexing? It's always done it for me.

This is what the indexing instructions say, "The system automatically capitalizes the first letter of a word in web indexing. That includes the first word in a name and any word after a space, such as an initial, a middle name, or the second word in a place-name."

But it's not working for me. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Everything is just coming out in lower case letters unless I "shift",

    It could be a couple of things.

    The project is not capitalizing. Try another project and see if that project capitalized. @Ashlee C. will escalate it.

    Clear out your cache. In Chrome, click the three dots on the right hand size of the toolbar. Click on Settings. Search "cache." It will be under Delete Browsing Data. Unclick everything except Cached Image and Files. You have options when deleting your cache. The default should be the last 4 weeks. Choose the date you want, then click Delete Data. Restart Chrome and you should be fine. I do not know how to delete the cache in other browsers, but it should be similar to Chrome.
