Title case in Word should automatically not capitalize short word.
Part of the Format / Change Case options should be a true Title Case. The
current "Title Case" capitalizes everything. There must be a simple way to create a title case that does not capitalize either common words (at/and/or/the/to) or short words (single or two letters). I work in the legal industry and spend a lot of time undoing Title Case changes when I use it, so it's not as great a time-saver as it could be. |

I would suggest sending your suggestion directly to Microsoft instead of
posting on a discussion forum for help with Word. Good luck. "MJB" wrote: Part of the Format / Change Case options should be a true Title Case. The current "Title Case" capitalizes everything.

Treesy, MS actually set the web forums to take suggestions, so that people
can post Suggestions and other people can vote for them. I consider this an annoying hijacking of usenet, but since MS pays for a seriously busy cluster of servers, I guess there's nothing to be done. Since half the time there are solutions to what people think are suggestions, it's somewhat logical. Why the biggest software company in the world (right?) can't figure out a way to append this type of info to anything posted as a Suggestion is beyond me. Anyhow, to MJB, use the MS Communities website or Google Groups to search for this problem and you can find some macros you can run that either undo the wrong title case or do it right the first time. Or someone may come along and repost it on this thread.

My apologies. I was repeating what I've seen posted before and I've never
noticed the suggestion feature before. My bad.
