I'm looking for an application, perhaps a DA, that will convert text that is in all upper case to lower case. MS Word will convert selected lower case text to uppercase, but apparently not the reverse. My specific problem is that I'd like to import a bibliography list I have generated from our libraries link to Current Contents into EndNote, and I'd like to clean up the problem with CC citations containing all upper case letters. In the best of all possible worlds, the program would leave the first letter of each word capitalized, such as in the following example: ABCDEFG -> Abcdefg This will leave authors names capitalized. I will certainly have to do some re-editing of the files, but this program will probably minimize the effort. This is probably a question that has been asked before, so please send your responses directly to me. Thanks. -- John Altman altman@cgl.ucsf.edu

Both of these are Word Processing DA's, and have the capability to shift all caps -> lowercase, and to capitalize words. The MS Word command, by the way, just makes the text LOOK uppercase. If you save it as an ascii file, it will be lowercase. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Who, me? Nope, I didn't say that.
