Default Merge Field with Title Case format issue

i have a small vb.net web application that creates a word document. it does
this by binding a dataset to mergefields within the word doc.

my problem is that i cant seem to get the title case working. is there a
specific reason why it wouldnt format?

eg. i have a merge field called Name the value within the dataset is
craig gamble. i would expect the merge field with title case format to be
displayed as Craig Gamble

but this isnt working? any reason why?

Cheers,
Craig

When you press Alt+F9 to toggle the display of field codes, you should see:

{ MERGEFIELD Name \* Caps }

If that is what have, it should capitalize the first letter in each word.

If the data source is entered in upper case, you will probably need to set
it to lower case first
{ MERGEFIELD Name \* Lower \* Caps }
