I like your idea of uppercase for surnames of your direct line. I tried changing my direct line surnames but it won't let me. I had originally told legacy to make them all initial caps. I tried going to customize, data formats, and displaying surnames and changing that to "don't change what I enter" but it didn't give me the option to save that. It acted like "initial caps" was still selected.
