Default Mailmerge Word Formatting

I need to mailmerge and auto-format statutory cites (i.e. 30 TEX. ADMIN. CODE
§ 332.5) where the first letter in the words is 11 font and the remaining
letters of the words are 8.8 font/small caps. Is there a way to do this? I
have looked and only found \*CAPS. Thank you.

Default Mailmerge Word Formatting

Not if all that string is coming from a single field. The only way to do
this (that I can think of) is to split the fields in the data file to derive
the letters you wish to format with different fonts as separate fields, then
reassemble the string by mergeing separately formatted fields - each with a
\*charformat switch. You cannot format a single field with multiple text
attributes.

If I had just Tex. Admin. Code as a field as there a way I could use
something like \*CAPS and a format that applies to everything but the first
letter of each word?
