hi tedd, >>48 _capitalise - change all text to lowercase, >> inserting uppercase if needed > >Not sure what the above means. Is this the similar to "Small Caps" as found >in MS Word? In other words, it makes the first letter of each word an >uppercase and reduces all others to lowercase. yes and no. For example: jAbBeRwOcKy using 8 _lowerCase - change all text to lowercase becomes: jabberwocky using 32 _upperCase - change all text to uppercase, becomes: JABBERWOCKY using 48 _capitalise - change all text to lowercase, inserting uppercase if needed becomes: Jabberwocky. Small caps usually means that the capital letters are the same height as the lower case letters (technically the x-height). So your description was accurate, where the name is misleading. Further on the subject. For '_capitalise' the first letter would be systematically capitalised, then full stops (periods in US) would be detected as well as opening quote marks, in order to capitalise the following char. jonathan ------------------------------------------------------------- !
