 * 4) Choose the Modify button.
 * 5) In the Modify Style dialog box, choose the Format button and select Font.
 * 6) In the Font dialog box, choose the Font tab. Under Effects, select the All Caps check box and choose the OK button. Choose OK again then choose the Close button.

 * 6) Repeat steps 2 through 5 for “toc 2,” “toc 3,” and so forth.

Word Versions 3.x and 4.0
