Default For poetry, how do you have a lower case letter after a paragr

There is no easy way to search for capital letters at the beginning of a
line and replace them with lowercase. You could use Format | Change Case |
Sentence case, but then you'd have to be sure to go back and recap any
proper nouns. It would be much more efficient to train yourself to use a
line break at the end of the line while typing.

Thanks, Chris, but I am more comfortable with using "Enter" while I'm

typing,
and am hoping there is a way to "search & replace" when I'm finished

rather
than doing "Shift+enter" while I'm typing....

there
a way to do this?
