Default How do I change the case of the merge fields

I am using Office 2003 and trying to merge some documents with word. But I
want the case of the addresses to be in Title case. I tried changing the
format of the fields but it disappears for the next one. Can anyone suggest
me some solution for this? Thank you in antisipation.

Hi Pranu,

If you select the errant mergefield and press Shift-F9, you should see your
field's coding, which should look something like:
{MERGEFIELD Data}
If you add a '\* Caps' picture switch to it, thus:
{MERGEFIELD Data \* Caps}
you should get the result you're after.

Cheers

Hi macropod,

The suggestion is great and it worked wonderfully. I am very thankful for
it......it actually created a very good reputation about me in my office.
Thanks a million.
