Merge Field with Title Case format issue
i have a small vb.net web application that creates a word document. it does
this by binding a dataset to mergefields within the word doc. my problem is that i cant seem to get the title case working. is there a specific reason why it wouldnt format? eg. i have a merge field called Name the value within the dataset is craig gamble. i would expect the merge field with title case format to be displayed as Craig Gamble but this isnt working? any reason why? Cheers, Craig |

Merge Field with Title Case format issue
When you press Alt+F9 to toggle the display of field codes, you should see:
{ MERGEFIELD Name \* Caps } If that is what have, it should capitalize the first letter in each word. -- Hope this helps.

If the data source is entered in upper case, you will probably need to set
it to lower case first { MERGEFIELD Name \* Lower \* Caps } -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Doug Robbins - Word MVP wrote: When you press Alt+F9 to toggle the display of field codes, you should see: { MERGEFIELD Name \* Caps } If that is what have, it should capitalize the first letter in each word.
