If I do that, it changes every name in the entire database, removing the all caps from all names, not just that one name. Elsewhere, I have seen names like that done with smaller font letters for the non-initial letters. All caps, but the initial letters are larger. If you can do that, you should make it so that just one name, not the entire database, can be changed. Yes, the name will appear slightly different from all the other surnames. But it will look something like LECOURS, if your email can read html. I fudged it here, forcing the L and C into a larger point size. Diana Ira J.
