When you press Alt+F9 to toggle the display of field codes, you should see:

{ MERGEFIELD Name \* Caps }

If that is what have, it should capitalize the first letter in each word.

i have a small vb.net web application that creates a word document. it does
this by binding a dataset to mergefields within the word doc.

my problem is that i cant seem to get the title case working. is there a
specific reason why it wouldnt format?

eg. i have a merge field called Name the value within the dataset is
craig gamble. i would expect the merge field with title case format to be
displayed as Craig Gamble

but this isnt working? any reason why?

Cheers,
Craig
