This article was previously published under Q119104 SYMPTOMS
If you use the Change Case command in PowerPoint to change text containing
an apostrophe to Title Case, the text may capitalize incorrectly. For
example, if you select the text
and use the Change Case command to change the case to Title Case, the text
may appear as:
CAUSE
The problem occurs when the apostrophe in the selection is followed by a
hard carriage return. In the above example, "Joe's" appears correctly
because the hard carriage return was not selected during the case change.
Individual words also display the same problem if the highlighted region
includes the hard carriage return. This problem actually occurs with any
punctuation mark, although apostrophes are the only punctuation marks found
in the middle of words.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, select each word or sentence individually
without selecting the hard carriage return character, and then change the
case.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the products listed at
the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft
PowerPoint 97 for Windows and Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition.
