Default format capitals in a merge field

Aha...
For reasons that escape me, that option failed yesterday but works today
(which is a better result than the other way round).
Thanks for your help.

Using the \* Caps switch alone will convert upper case text to Title Case.

I have a merge field drawing on a data source where the data is all in
capitals. I changed it to lower case using the \* Lower switch. But I
need
the final result to be in title case, and \* Caps doesn't seem to produce
Title case when the data source is already fully capitalised. Is there
another format switch I could use? or perhaps a way of nesting the field
so
it changes to lower case then to title case?

Thanks, Peter.
