As of this date there are two (2) items on the sub-menu. Adding a big and little item plus an Intitial cap item to the submenu will hardly clutter the msubmenu and is a necessary convenience tool for attorneys preparing legal documents. Attorneys usually bill by the hour and are under considerable pressure to produce legal documents as quickly as possible. Currently, the two commands are too interior to the app. Wontfix won't solve the problem and will simply prevent attorneys -- who are the most prolific word processor users of all -- from switchin from WordPerfect (or MS Word, in jurisdictions that do accept MS Word documents) to OOo. Busy lawyers are not going to dig down through layers of dialog boxes to reach these commands. Alternatively, suggest allowing the command to be added by user to Edit menu on Menu bar.

In roughly a year, no other commands have been added to this submenu, which only now contains, as it did previously, the uppercase and lowercase commands. An Initial Cap and a small cap command should be added. WordPerfect, the historical word processor for lawyers, has offered this feature for about 10 years with no clutter problem. The way the two features should interact in making Uniform legal footnote citations is as follows: 1. Hi-liting the text and invoking the small cap feature should simply change the text to small all cap letters; 2. If initial caps are required for the court in the citation (as in the naming of a treatise relied upon for authority), the user should be able to do as follows: a. Hi-lite the text and invoke the small cap command; and b. Thereafter, invoke the Initial cap command to capitalize the first character in each word in the text to be small capped or big and little capped. Another alternative, of course, would be to publish a macro for each command and have the commands capable of being added to the Edit Menu or to the Context Menu. Citing potential clutter as a reason for not doing this is somewhat short-sighted in terms of increasing your user base for heavy users of word processing. Note: The big and little cap requirement also applies to government agencies that publish regulations and other legal materials -- which includes most, if not all, government agencies, both federal and state.
