APA-6th Edition - Capitalization in Journal Title

golfgirl888
Zotoro saves my journal article with the title appearing exactly how it appears including capitals (i.e. Teaching the Immigrant Child). However, when I drag and drop it to create my reference list or use the MS Word plug in to create my reference list, it does not remove the capital letters according to APA style. For example, the title of the journal article as per proper APA reference should be "Teaching the immigrant child".
How do I change this other than manually editing each journal article title?
I am using a Mac Book Pro on the latest OS. Thanks

    You should store your titles in Zotero in sentence case. You can change them quickly by right-clicking on the title field and selecting Change Case--Sentence Case.

    While changing to Title Case can be reliably done automatically, there is no way for a software program to reliably convert to sentence case because some of the words might need to remain capitalized (proper nouns, abbreviations, etc.).
