How can I have a rule that will capitalise the first word of a new
sentence, with the previous sentence concluding with a full stop and
then one space please? This would be extremely useful for me as I tend
to forget to capitalise the first word, but how can it be done please?
Thanks
Sharon.

very old code, maybe can be adjusted slightly to do what you want.
(defun alpha-capitalize-sentences ()
(interactive)
(let ((b (region-beginning))
(e (region-end))
;;i always use double spaces but i want sentence movement
;;to be liberal -- that is to count more things as
;;sentences.
(sentence-end-double-space nil)
;;need to make it understand org headlines etc. also.
;;don't know if this will help. will fail on *bold*.
;;non-idempotent. use a vector function.
(sentence-end-without-space
(concat sentence-end-without-space "*")))
(save-excursion
(goto-char b)
(loop
while (< (point) (max b e))
do
(when (y-or-n-p "capitalize this sentence?")
(capitalize-word 1))
;;forward-sentence-incl-org (headlines, items, other)
do
(let ((sentence-end-without-period t))
(forward-sentence))))
;;; (replace-regexp "i" "I" t (region-beginning) (region-end))
(save-excursion
(perform-replace "i" "I"
nil t t nil nil
b e))))

Thanks Marcin, this *did* work, on first start of emacs it worked
everywhere, but on a subsequent start of emacs it started complaining
about the 'emacs.desktop' files and played merry hell with them! So I
then set it up to just work in org-mode, and again it did work on first
start. But when I tried a second start it started playing hell with my
emacs.desktop files again. So I've disabled it from working until I can
find a work-around.
Thanks
Sharon.

Thanks for this Samuel, it does work, but I'm trying to find a way of
auto-capitalising my sentences as I write, whereas this only does it
when its called 'after' the event. But thanks anyway.
Thanks
Sharon.
