Is there a way to tell word to uncapitalize the "small" words in a title?
The "Change Case/Title Case" function seems pretty useless to me because it
capitalizes every word in a title including "And", "Or", "Of" when they are
part of a Title. How can I get Word to capitalize only the words that would
appear capitalized in the normal way a title is capitalized? Example: "the
cat in the hat" becomes "The Cat In The Hat" and then Word immediately flags
the word "In" as an error to be replaced with "in".

The easiest way is to select the capital letter and type the lower
case letter in its place.

If you want to prevent the automatic capitalization, go to Tools
AutoCorrect Options and uncheck "Capitalize first letter of
sentences". Or if you just want to reverse the autocorrect
occasionally, press Ctrl+Z or click Undo as soon as it happens. Or, in
later versions of Word, hover the mouse over the little blue box under
the capital letter until it expands into an AutoCorrect Options
button, click it, and select the option you want.
