Powerpoint/ChangeCase/TitleCase: don't capitalize, "at, the etc"

I'd like to be able to type bullets in powerpoint without having to think
about capitalization until the end. Powerpoint's Change Case->Title Case
gives leading capitals to small words like 'and', 'the', 'it' etc, which is
not what is usually required. I would like to see an option to do a variant
of Title Case that intelligently avoid the most common "small words" that, by
convention, are not usually capitalized. This could perhaps be useful in
other office applications but is clearly most attractive for PowerPoint

I agree. PPT 2000 actually does a proper title case like you describe.

PPT 2003 does not -- it just caps every word, regardless.

Unfortunately, 2007 works as 2003 -- it caps every word. However, MS has at
least named it properly in 2007: there's no more "title case" (that wasn't
really title case), it's now called "capitalize every word."

AHEM. Aren't we *forgetting* something?

Like the insanely complex and difficult mods I made to the change case tool in
the free PPTools Starter Set, specifically at YOUR request, o purple-maned one?

Pete ... have a look at the free Starter Set add-in
