Default Merge Field with Title Case format issue

If the data source is entered in upper case, you will probably need to set
it to lower case first
{ MERGEFIELD Name \* Lower \* Caps }

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.

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
