format capitals in a merge field
I have a merge field drawing on a data source where the data is all in
capitals. I changed it to lower case using the \* Lower switch. But I need the final result to be in title case, and \* Caps doesn't seem to produce Title case when the data source is already fully capitalised. Is there another format switch I could use? or perhaps a way of nesting the field so it changes to lower case then to title case? Thanks, Peter. |

format capitals in a merge field
Using the \* Caps switch alone will convert upper case text to Title Case.

Aha...
For reasons that escape me, that option failed yesterday but works today (which is a better result than the other way round). Thanks for your help. Peter.
