Actually, if you will go to the Options->Customize->Data Format; 3rd section
"Letter Case of Surnames"
I would select the first button "Inital Caps" and then hit the "Apply"
button on the right. This will apply the "selected" formatting to ALL
SURNAMES in your file.

I don't know about the fashionableness of all caps. I didn't like CAPS from day
one, so I never did it. Since I had a lot of names like de la Ware, and
McDougal and O'Brien. They just looked better. When I downloaded a Gedcom from
IGI, many of them were all caps. What I did was,
1. Opened Name
If the surnames were originally entered in all caps, they can be revised
one surname (not individual) at a time by:
1. Click on "view".
2. Click on "master lists".
3. Work your way down the surname list, editing each surname. (FYI,
if you want to see how many of any given surname are
Depends a lot on how you set it up. You -might- be able to lower the
case. If you entered the names as call caps to start with, this won't
work. But on the off-chance you pre-selected "Uppercase" for
surnames, we can probably force a lot of them to become lower-case.
Make sure you have a back
I still like ALL CAPS for SURNAMES! Guess I'm old-fashioned! Good luck

I would love to see even a rudimentary tool. Even if the source citations get

I follow you. I think it would be nice if there was a way to select

Basically not, Paula. The proposed Source Converter is not available and nobody
has suggested when it maybe. The best one can do is to use the Windows
operations (copy/cut/paste etc.) to minimise the work. Personally I am only
doing them when I revise an individual's details.

How are are you creating the lists. Are you using Search>Find and is it
possible that "Census/Tax" is in the Master source on one and in the Detail on
the other?
