I write my dialog in this format:
Joe: Why are you wearing a shoe on your head?
Sam: Mind your own damn business!
What's annoying here is that it doesn't automatically capitalize the word following the colon. Is there a way to automatically capitalize the first word after a colon like it's the start of a sentence, but only for these specific instances? Or just in general?
I don't actually mind if I have to undo an auto capitalized word here and there when I used a colon in the middle of a sentence, as it's a lot less common in my writing, but fixing the first letter after every colon in a dialog heavy scene is tedious...
I'm using the Windows version (Version 1.9.9.0) of the tool [scrivener](/questions/tagged/scrivener "show questions tagged 'scrivener'").
