Default Title Case in Word 2007

Is there a way to change the case from say All Caps, lower case, or every
word capitalized to title case in Word 2007.

Word 2003 has this feature, but for some reason it is not available in Word
2007.

Default Title Case in Word 2007

On the Hom tab, first group on the right, there's a button "Aa" (next
to the font color button) with a tiny dropdown arrow alongside. Choose
"Capitalize Each Word." (Of course you already selected the text you
want to do it to.)

Shift+F3 is still the keyboard shortcut, but there's a button on the Home
tab, in the Font group, that opens the Change Case menu.

Default Title Case in Word 2007

True - but that's not actually Title Case - that's capitalising teh first letter of each word. Title Case is where the important words are capitalised but the common articles and prepositions etc are left with lower case letters.

Word 2003 did this correctly but not now in 2007.

Word 2003 did *not* do Title Case correctly, and Word 2007 does it the
same way as 2003.

For a macro that does do true title case, see the section with that
title at http://www.gmayor.com/word_vba_examples.htm.

If title case was "correct" in W2003, you must have used a macro that
interceded. The one I used with W2003 still works with W2007.

Default Title Case in Word 2007

It must have an awful lot of detail? In fourth grade we learned to not
capitalize "a an the of in with for from and," but in grown-up style
guides we learn not to capitalize any preposition (unless it's not
used as a preposition, as in "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out"), but we
capitalize the first word of the subtitle as well as of the title, ...

You are of course correct. The wording has changed for the better but the functinality is the same.

I'll look into using a macro or some script to do it, I see there are a few possibilities around on the internet.
