Default WORD mailmerge field switchs do not work

I am trying to format several mail merge fields with first caps but the
switch does not take effect after I edit the field. Even though the "toggle
fields" command shows the \*FirstCap switch, the field prints in all caps. My
data source is an ACCESS table.

Use \*Lower \*FirstCap
ie both switches.

Many Thanks, Graham. That worked nicely. I had earlier poked around your
website looking for the information and I found a lot of other very useful
information.
