Default Proper case text for McDonald?

It could still apply to the Access newsgroups if it was a using Word to
print letters from Access. Of course, it definitely is not a table design
question.

There is also the Hwaiian clan of MacHo. They are a really tough crowd.

The letter could be addressed to "The MacHo Men of the Glen"

This seems to be a Word question. If so, it would be best to ask the
question in a Word newsgroup. This group is for discussions about
database structure and design using Microsoft Access.

Does anyone know of way to apply the proper case format through Word
when sending letters to people called McDonald for example?

The best i can get is Mcdonald and not McDonald

Many thanks

Default Proper case text for McDonald?

Hi Chris,

All the others' thoughts are good. But now-a-days, it gets expanded to
all those new and not-so-new names with intercaps such as DeAnne vs. Deanne,
either of which could be correct or TaWana or DeeDee or LaVonda, or ....,
well you get the drift. Best, if possible, to store the names as the person
prefers.

Hi Chris,

Just to keep you on your toes, sometimes Mcdonald is the correct
spelling.

As are McDaniels, Mcdaniels, O'Connor, O'connor, van den Steen, van
Beethoven, etc.
When it comes to names, it's the name owners choice. And let's not
forget Mr. e.e. cummings.

Actually, I flagged the question to see what others would say, *then* I
happened to reread it. It seems the OP has dropped out of the thread, but
it has been interesting anyhow.
