In 6.0 you can do: options>customize>data format>letter case of surnames,
select "initial caps" and then press APPLY and it will re-set all the
surnames to initial caps. Except for the "Mc" names, the balance of the
name will still be in allcaps.
Does anyone have a decent fix for those?

You want the box above the one you are referring to -"Letter Case of
Surnames". In version 5 (assuming 6 is same): options>customize>data
format>letter case of surnames, select "intial caps" and save. Then (if so
desired) go back in and change to "Don't change what I enter".

Subject: [LegacyUG] autocomplete names capitalized
I cannot find this in the archives, so here goes:
Before I knew better, I capitalized all my surnames. Now, no matter what
I
do, Legacy autocompletes them in capitals. (In the
Options-Customize-Data
Format-Displaying Surnames the box for Show SURNAMES in uppercase letters
is
NOT checked.) The only way I can find to undo this is to go to each
surname
individually, add the name in lower case after the uppercase version,
then
backspace to remove the uppercase version. This is extremely tedious,
and
doesn't solve the problem of future entries. Even now, every time I try
to
add a new person with a surname I had previously entered in caps, it
shows
up in caps.
Is there a way to remove these old, erroneous autocompletes?
Is there a way to change all my surnames at once to Upper/Lower case?
Remember, this is NOT a matter of unchecking the box.
Many thanks in advance,
Dee Whiting
