UPPERCASE text transformed in Title Case
On the first page of each chapter of my book I have the chapter number,
spaced and in UPPERCASES (e.g. CHAPTER 1) that I want to appear on the header of each page from that chapter, too, but in Title Case (e.g. Chapter 1). To reference the text from the first page to the Header, I use one of the following methods: 1. Insert Field Links and References StyleRef Un-check €śPreserve formatting during updates€ť, OR 2. Insert Cross Reference Even tough I have defined the Header Style and all the text in the Header is correctly formatted in terms of font and size (and is not even spaced, which is good), the Chapter 1 transforms itself back to CHAPTER 1 every time I reopen the document. It looks like the possibility of choosing UPPERCASE or Title Case is missing on the trajectory of using one of the two above methods. To come around my problem, I did the following: after I got the UPPERCASE text in the Heather, I select it and Format Change Case Title Case. I would say the problem is solved, but is not. Every time I reopen the document, the text in the Header is in UPPERCASES again (CHAPTER 1), and not in Title Case as I want it. Here I go again. Anybody has any idea how I can solve this problem ? I was thinking that maybe when I define the Header Style I could check a box somewhere and force the text to stay in Title Case, but I cannot find such an option. Many thanks for any help and ideas !€¦€¦. |

UPPERCASE text transformed in Title Case
You need a formatting switch (or switches) -
{ STYLEREF "Heading 1" \*Caps} { STYLEREF "Heading 1" \*Lower \*FirstCap} or { REF Bookmarkname \*Caps} { REF Bookmarkname \*Lower \*FirstCap} Depending on what exactly you are trying to achieve Note the user of the lower case switch with the FirstCap switch when converting from Upper case. The Caps switch shouldn't need converting to lower case first.

UPPERCASE text transformed in Title Case
An even simpler approach would be to format the chapter number style as All
Caps and type it in upper and lower case. Since StyleRef fields do not pick up any font formatting (except Hidden), the text on the page would be "CHAPTER 1" and in the header "Chapter 1." -- Suzanne S.
