Capitalizing a list of name
I have a user who wants to automate capitaling the first letters in a list of
first names and last names. I see where I could make everything upper or lower but is there a way to just capitalize the first letter? -- LFP |

Capitalizing a list of name
And... if you're using Word 2007, the feature is accessed by clicking the
Change Case tool (in the Font section of the Home ribbon tab), then choosing Capitalize Each Word. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

Capitalizing a list of name
In 2003 and prior, Insert, Autotext, Autotext, AutoCorrect, Capitalize first
letter of sentences. 2007 - maybe under Insert, Quick Parts, Building Blocks Organizer. This will, to a certain extent, automate the capitalizing of the first letter, but if the First and Last name are in the same paragraph, only the First name will be corrected. I have in the past used a two column table, entered the first and last names in the seperate columns and individual rows (usually imported from Excel), then use Table to Text to return to paragraphs. To follow on from Jay and Herb: Shift+F3 will toggle between the capitalise options (no-caps, Inital-Caps, ALL-CAPS) this works in 2007 as well as older versions. This function is one of many that repeats with the F4 key. Hope this helps DeanH "LFP" wrote: I have a user who wants to automate capitaling the first letters in a list of first names and last names.
