See update to comments a-- this feature won't "clutter" the context menu. In
roughly a year, no other commands have been added to this submenu, which only
now contains, as it did previously, the "uppercase" and "lowercase" commands.
An "Initial Cap" and a "small cap" command should be added. WordPerfect, the
historical "word processor for lawyers," has offered this feature for about 10
years with no "clutter" problem.
The way the two features should interact in making Uniform legal footnote
citations is as follows:
1. Hi-liting the text and invoking the "small cap" feature should simply change
the text to "small" all cap letters;
2. If initial caps are required for the court in the citation (as in the naming
of a treatise relied upon for authority), the user should be able to do as
follows:
a. Hi-lite the text and invoke the "small cap" command; and
b. Thereafter, invoke the "Initial cap" command to capitalize the first
character in each word in the text to be "small capped" or "big and little
capped."
Another alternative, of course, would be to publish a macro for each command and
have the commands capable of being added to the Edit Menu or to the Context
Menu.
Citing "potential clutter" as a reason for not doing this is somewhat
short-sighted in terms of increasing your user base for heavy users of word
processing.
Note: The "big and little cap" requirement also applies to government agencies
that publish regulations and other legal materials -- which includes "most," if
not all, government agencies, both federal and state.
