I have asked for that for some time. Does 3.0 finally do that? Note that the question involves title case in English only. Only English has this crazy rule that in titles "important" words must be capitalized, but not "unimportant" words. "Unimportant" includes articles, prepositions and conjunctions. Having said that, there are various style manuals for English and exactly which words should be capitalized and which should not varies a tad bit from one style manual to the next. For example, some say not to capitalize any prepositions and others say not to capitalize prepositions unless they are two or more syllables. If OOo 3.0 does not have a real title case feature for English, I have a suggestion for a simple workaround. It turns out that the "unimportant" words are a short list - a couple hundred at the max. So we could create a macro which would (1) capitalize the first letter of all words in a selection of text and then (2) search for each of the "unimportant" words and uncapitalize it. This macro could then be added to the user's toolbar. I've thought of recording the macro and then editing it to add the list of "unimportant" words, but I've been too busy to get around to it. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
