MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / June 2005In Word, How do I change all caps to initial caps?
We run several mail merges where the data for the addresses and names come into the letters as all caps and the body of the letters are initial caps. Is there a way that we can convert (in Word) all caps to initial caps without retyping the names and addresses? Try adding the \*Caps switch to your field: {MERGEFIELD fieldname \*Caps} > We run several mail merges where the data for the addresses and names come > into the letters as all caps and the body of the letters are initial caps. > Is there a way that we can convert (in Word) all caps to initial caps without > retyping the names and addresses? Unfortunately that will probably not work for reasons that are not entirely clear - {MERGEFIELD fieldname \*Lower \*Caps} should work if the previous suggestion doesn't.

Thanks, we will look into these two possible solutions and give them a try. > Unfortunately that will probably not work for reasons that are not entirely > clear - [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >> are initial caps.

Based on the information you provided, we have found a way of adding a code to our query, that converts all caps from programming to initial caps in the mail merge. Our customer letters look slick!
