Title Case Switch?
Does anybody know if there is a field switch that makes the resulting text
appear in title case (initial caps except for an, and, the, etc.) regardless of how the user enters the text? I'm trying to modify a template, and the field to which I want to apply the switch is a styleref field in the header. Mahalo! |

Title Case Switch?
The \* FirstCap switch is (more or less) what you want. It will create what
Word calls title case, which is not true title case but as close as you're going to get. -- Suzanne S.

Title Case Switch?
Thank you Susan. That's what I was afraid of. It's too bad that MSFT can't
figure out what "title case" really means to writers. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: The \* FirstCap switch is (more or less) what you want.

Title Case Switch?
I agree, especially since WordPerfect has had it right for eons. I'm sure
you will be as cheered as I was to learn that MS has "solved" this problem by changing the description from "Title Case" to the more accurate "Capitalize Every Letter." g -- Suzanne S.
