    To capitalize the first word of a sentence and automatically add a period at the end in Windows, you can enable the autocorrect features in your word processing software or text editor. Here are general steps you can follow:

    1. Open your text editor (like Microsoft Word or any other word processing application).
    2. Access the settings or options menu. This is usually found under 'File' > 'Options' or 'Tools' > 'Options'.
    3. Look for the Proofing or AutoCorrect options. In Microsoft Word, you can find it under 'Proofing' > 'AutoCorrect Options'.
    4. Enable the options for "Capitalize first letter of sentences" and "Replace text as you type". This will ensure that the first letter of each sentence is capitalized and a period is added when you type a space after the last word of a sentence.
    5. Save your changes and start typing. The settings should now work automatically.

    These features may vary slightly depending on the application you are using, but most modern text editors have similar functionalities.

    Greetings!

    This is Tin, I'll do my best to help. I understand that you want to automatically capitalize the first word of a sentence and put period at the end. This is usually available on Mobile phones and tablet.

    May I know what application are you using when typing? Since some apps does not offer that option.

    Are you using a touchscreen device?

    If yes, please follow the steps below:

    Please open Settings, then go to Time & Language and click Typing

    Please make sure to turn on the:

    *Show text suggestions when typing on the physical keyboard

    *Automatically capitalize the first letter of each sentence

    *Add period after double tapping the Spacebar.

    If you are using MS Word, good thing it offers this feature.

    Please open the MS Word app, click File, then options, select Proffing then Autocorrect Options. Please tick the "Capitalize first letter of the sentences" and Replace text as you type". Hit OK then Save.

    Thank you so much.

    Thanks,

    Tin
