Thanks all. I had seen the \U\E somewhere, but couldn't work out how to get it to work in the "replace" box.

That works perfectly - and Doitsu, thanks for the link to your earlier post. I DID search, but I didn't see that one. Appreciate all your help.

Wombat. Appreciate your thoughts. I am capitalising the first word (unless it is a name, in which case it is the whole name), with the first letter full size and the subsequent ones about 80% small-caps. The content, and hence the "feel" I am trying to create, of the book is of one which could have been published at the turn of the last century....to my mind, this achieves this relatively simply and "unfussily". I agree with you though that drop caps (although I have used them) are often a bit much.....
