Text string in title case?

[Tina Ricks]

Sorry... I wasn't clear. Search/replace won't work.

It's lots and lots of different book titles, all throughout a 600 page
manuscript. This is a legal textbook with loads of footnotes, which contain
references to many other works. The previous author set all the book titles
in all caps, now they need to be cap/lowercase (title case).

So a search/replace doesn't work. I'm trying to avoid retyping all these
titles. Seems like the best so far is to change the case to lower, and
retype the initial caps where needed.

I must be misunderstanding you because it sounds like a simple Find/Change 
would do it.

1. In the Find/Change dialogue box, set Find to Text: "The Title of This 
Book." Make sure the "Consider Case" checkbox is unchecked and Find/Change 
will find the phrase no matter what case it is.

2. In the Find/Change dialogue box, set Change to Text: "The Title of This 
Book" (capitalized the way you want). That will do it. Of course, if you've 
set "Small Caps," "Uppercase," or "Lowercase" in the Paragraph Format or 
Character Format that contains the phrase, the setting will override the 
intended result.

3. In the Find/Change dialogue, be sure that "Book" is selected. Then hit 
Find.
