When inserting text for a caption I have a mix of title case and lower case
words. All words such as "the, a, an, and, as, but" etc are lower case. Is
there a way to set up Word (perhaps a macro) where, when I select all of the
text in the caption and change it to title case, it will put all BUT the
listed words in title case? Perhaps a macro?

It looks like the visual basic text will work (from the link you provided)
but I have no idea how to write a macro in visual basic. Ideas?

http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm shows you how -- it's just
copy/paste, but you need to know where to paste.
