I have created a form into which I put some text-field.

In one of the field, I choosed the option to display the text as "First
Capital"

When I enter 'john' in the field it work correctly and produce "John"

However the text that is pasted in that field is all capitalised. So I would
be pasting "JOHN" into that field. I would like MS Word to put it in "First
Capital" but it doesnt.

My "JOHN" doesnt result in a "John". It stay like "JOHN"


It seems the "First Capital" option only work if the word you puttin in the
field is in lowercase.

Use \* Lower \* FirstCap

Hi Greg,

You can't use general switches like \* Lower and \* FirstCap with FORMTEXT fields. Jean-François' observation is right - the "First
Capital" option only works on text that is input in lowercase.

Use \* Lower \* FirstCap- Hide quoted text -

Paul,

I wasn't sure if Jean was working with a formtext field, Fillin or Ask/
REF pair.
Agree it won't work in a formtext field.
