Jim,
Look in Options > Customize > Data Format. Choose Initial Caps, click Apply
and Yes All given names in all entries will have the first letter
capitalize.
Read also the help:
Letter Case of Given Names and Locations Upon Field Exit
Capitalizes each name in the Given name field and each word in the Place
fields when you leave these fields. To leave the entry just as you typed
it, select the Don't change what I enter button. (The default is Initial
Caps.) If you would like Legacy to go through the entire family file,
formatting each given name and place name to the Initial Caps
setting, make sure the Initial Caps option is selected, and then click
Apply.

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.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Capitalise each first letter
Hi everyone
I was looking at the English royal family and downloaded a gedcom for the
tree. 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?
Thanks
Foxy
