What I'm saying is you could take your list of words... oh dear, I just found out that OO has no Title Case option. I was going to say select your whole list and go Format/change case/ title case. Were you able to add your list to your dictionary en masse? Now that I'm looking I don't even see that ability. The .dic file is binary, so I can't open it in a text editor and add an entire list at once. I was also going to suggest doing a find/replace and changing the case of the first letter of each word thereby, but I can't figure out how to change case using find/replace. Similar can be done, however, with the possessive by searching for .$, replacing with &'s, with Regular expressions enabled. Requirements are there must be only one word per line. One last way to do the caps is via macro, but I can't get to first base with the macros, either recorded or written. In short, another case of being frustrated by the way this program is organized. This is something I could do three ways in Word, easily. Sorry I wasn't more help. p. -- Using OOo 1.9.125 on Win XP sp2. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
