Small Caps Macro Doesn't Work for Me

I need to format the first letter of our product in small
caps in PowerPoint.

I coped the sample code from the Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article 222729, and pasted it as a macro in my
presentation. The macro is supposed to format the
lowercase letters in a selection as small capital letters
and reduce their size to 80% of their original size.

When I highlight my text and run the macro, it does change
the first letter to a capital, but leaves it the original
point size, while it reduces the next three letters to
about 80% of their original size. I want only the first
letter reduced.

I have looked at the sample code but I am not adept at
Visual Basic and I can't figure out how to amend it, since
it is not supposed to be acting this way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
So you want:

Text Like This

to turn into ... well, the same thing but with the initial T, L and T at 80%
of their original size?

I think you may need to do the reformatting manually, tedious though that
may be.
 
Hello Lynne,

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions as to how
text formatting in PowerPoint might be improved (without having to resort
to VBA or add-ins), don't forget to send your feedback to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)

Thanks, Steve , for responding to my request. After much trial an
error (and a headache), I was able to amend the Visual Basic su
procedure I copied from the Microsoft site so that it does work, bu
I'm not sure it saves my upper management (who made the request that
find a macro to do this) any keystrokes.

If you'd like to post what you've got so far, maybe we can poke and prod it
