Difficulties with Small Caps
Scientific Journals and Legal Citations sometimes have styles that have
author names or legal cases in Caps and Small Caps in text and in references. If I copy and paste without formatting, the small caps become All caps, but without the All Cap formatting that would allow me to search and replace. If I Select All and change the font, the small caps become All Caps, again without the designated formatting. All the Knowledge Base things I find say something like "Reselect the text and mark it for small caps," which requires FINDING them all manually, and selecting and changing and can easily take more than an hour for which I'm not paid. Any suggestions for keeping small caps as small caps when changing styles, pasting, etc.? I'm using Word 2003; Did Word 2007 correct this problem? Anything else I can do? |

Difficulties with Small Caps
Go through an intermediate step. Change all the small caps items to
some other font, or some color, then search that and change it back. (But why are you pasting without formatting? The small caps style wouldn't be lost if you pasted normally.) Adobe used to sell small caps fonts to accompany the more popular fonts -- they were in the "expert" sets -- because Word small caps aren't particularly attractive. All Word does is apply All Caps and reduce the point size, which means the weight of the strokes in the letters is too light for the surrounding material. But if Adobe is even still in the fonts business, I haven't been able to find them at their monster website.

The following macro should paste the contents of the clipboard in the
paragraph style at the cursor with the addition of the smallcaps formatting parameter: Sub PasteSmCaps() Dim sFont As Boolean On Error GoTo oops With Selection sFont = .Font.SmallCaps .Font.SmallCaps = True .PasteSpecial _ DataType:=wdPasteText, _ Placement:=wdInLine .Font.SmallCaps = sFont End With End oops: Beep End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Penny wrote: Scientific Journals and Legal Citations sometimes have styles that have author names or legal cases in Caps and Small Caps in text and in references.
