    Time for action — using text effects

    To use this in Inkscape:

    • In an open project, choose the Create and Edit Text tool and select an already-created text box with content residing in it.
    • From the main menu, select Extensions and then Text and Sentence Case. All capitalization rules will change to sentence case.
  2. Title case: Instead of capitalizing the first word in every sentence like the previous example, this text effect capitalizes the first letter of every word in the text box.
