Can case be pre-determined so that merged document has correct upper and title cases?
I was wondering, as I've never had this come up before, if we can
pre-set what the case of the finished, merged document? For example, my intention later on today at work is to create the source, data file in Excel with first and last name fields. Hopefully the person can just enter both in title case. But in the Word label document, will need one of 4 labels to be like this: LAST NAME, First Name while the other 3 will have their format as First Name Last Name. Can this be done? Thanks! D |

D Hi, everyone! I'm at the office now so hoping someone knows the answer to this one. I don't know how to do this, if it can even be done. I'm hoping for some code we can put before/after the field code in the pertinent labels when we need the one label to show last name in upper case. Thanks so much. D |

Simple enough using switches
eg {Mergefield LastName \*Upper} will give you LASTNAME see http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org StargateFan wrote: I was wondering, as I've never had this come up before, if we can pre-set what the case of the finished, merged document?
