Yes, using Search and Replace, but be sure to back up first! For first names:
Find where = Given names Find what = a Replacement test = A Match case = checked Starts with = selected Replace only found text with replacement text = selected Repeat these steps for each letter of alphabet. For middle names make the following changes in the above settings: Put a space before the letter in the Find what field Put a space before the letter in the Replacement text field Anywhere in field = selected Repeat these steps for each letter of alphabet.

The gedcom had a lot of underscores, and every title was a suffix. So I did some adjusting of the data (most of it in Access). What I want to do now is capitalise the first letter of each word in the given name. I know I can capitalise the first letter of the name in options, but I want to capilatlise the first letter of each word in the given name. I can do this in Access with 26 find and replaces, but I was wandering if I could do it in Legacy?
