I was wondering, as I've never had this come up before, if we can
pre-set what the case of the finished, merged document? For example,
my intention later on today at work is to create the source, data file
in Excel with first and last name fields. Hopefully the person can
just enter both in title case.

But in the Word label document, will need one of 4 labels to be like
this:

LAST NAME, First Name

while the other 3 will have their format as

First Name Last Name.

Can this be done? Thanks! D

Hi, everyone! I'm at the office now so hoping someone knows the answer to
this one. I don't know how to do this, if it can even be done. I'm hoping
for some code we can put before/after the field code in the pertinent labels
when we need the one label to show last name in upper case.

Thanks so much. D

Simple enough using switches
eg {Mergefield LastName \*Upper} will give you LASTNAME

Thank you, thank you! I never knew about these switches. Great. Will try
it out today when I make the merge files.

Cheers. D

Thanks for this link here. When I did the changes the first time, it
didn't work. I needed to follow the instructions given on this page.
Worked beautifully!
