sawhillr Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 is there a way to truly convert the contents of a field to title case instead of changing its style (which doesn't really change the contents)? I need to apply this to a headline field that is always in All caps from the source. The problem with changing anything to Title case using styles is that there may be a word that needs to be in all caps (EPA, USA, FBI) so someone has to manually fix them. But if you apply a style, there is no way to change just one word. Also, FM's Title Case function is a bit dumb, it sees a quotation mark as the first letter of a word and will then change what it thinks is the second letter, the first letter of the word, to lowercase. Thanks Roger
David Jondreau Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 Try the Replace Field Contents[] script step using the Proper() function with the parameter Self to fix existing records. Put Proper(Self) in an auto-enter calc for the field for new records.
