How to convert lower case index entry tag to upper case?
Hello everybody,
I have MS Word 2003 documents that contain many index entries. Some of them look like this {XE "text"} and some of them look like this {xe "text"}. I also noticed that if I save the .doc as .rtf then all of my index entries become lower case, i.e. {xe "text"}. For further processing I need all index entries to look like this {XE "text"}. I cannot find a way to search and replace lower case with upper case in fields. Is there a way to search and replace or do anything else but to make them upper case? Thanks! Yuri |

That processing must take place outside of Word (or the result of the processing), since Word doesn't really care about the case here.

Hmm, a very simple approach would be to search for " xe " (a lowercase xe preceded and followed with a space; withouth the quotes) and replace with empty, formatting: AllCaps. Unless " xe ".

How to convert lower case index entry tag to upper case?
Hello Robert,
Hmm, this is just weird, because I have tried simply searching for "xe" and replacing it with "XE", or as you said using empty formatting set to All Caps... For some reason I could not search inside the fields. I don't know, but it did not work. Now it is working... I feel stupid! Thank you! Yuri "Robert M.

Did you have Hidden text displayed when you did the search? You could also
try searching for ^19 xe and replacing with ^& formatted as All Caps. -- Suzanne S.
