Edit fields with switches
I have been trying to make an ALL CAPS field only capitalize the first letter
then lower case the following. I have used the help file and added switches but it doesn't work. There must be something I am missing. Can anyone help? |

Edit fields with switches
Let's suppose your text is "THE QUICK BROWN FOX" , you use Alt-F9 to reveal
your field code and it says { MERGEFIELD myfield } (If there is anything else in there such as \*Charformat or \*Mergeformat, delete it for the moment) 1. change it to { MERGEFIELD myfield \*lower } Select if, press F9 to re-execute it (actually, just a precaution), and preview the result. If you see "the quick brown fox" then go to step 2. Otherwise, I wonder if somehow you have applied a font that is a "small caps" font (i.e. where there are no "lower case" versions of the letters)? 2. If the \*lower worked, change the field to { MERGEFIELD myfield \*lower \*firstcap } Select if, press F9 to re-execute it (actually, just a precaution), and preview the result. If you see "The quick brown fox", then it looks like we're OK, so test the merge. If not, what do you see? -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Theresa" wrote in message ...
