I have created a user form which my users enter whatever values they want. The problem is that when I update the document to put these values in docvariables that I have set up, Word keeps reformatting what they put in! I work in healthcare and we have strange cases "HIV/HCV" "PhD", etc. and my users who are scientists know how to capitalize just fine. I don't want Word to mess with what they typed in! But every time I update the doc (through VBA) ... "HIV/HCV" turns out "hiv/hcv"; "PhD" turns out "phd", etc. I looked at switches, but I can't make it all lowercase, all uppercase, or initial caps, because there are always exceptions. How to stop this behavior?

Document variables are just string values; these shouldn't change once
they have been assigned. What does the macro do?
