Did you ever type a bunch of text in InDesign, only to notice afterward that your caps lock key was down? What do you do then? Retype it all? Use it as a very LOUD design element?

Title Case capitalizes every word, even some that you might not want capitalized in a title, like “a” “the” and so on. If you need a more capable method, check out the script Smart Title Case by Dave Saunders. It has been around for almost ten years but still works perfectly in InDesign CC 2014.
Sentence case capitalizes the first word after punctuation marks like periods, question marks, and exclamation points.
