WINDOWS

================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 4.0 and 4.0a == 

= SUMMARY =

The Title Case option in the Change Case command for PowerPoint for Windows does not recognize that characters following a “smart” or “curly” apostrophe should not be capitalized.

For example, if you use the Title Case option to change the capitalization of the word

can’t

you get the word:

Can'T Notice that both the first letter and the letter following the apostrophe are capitalized.

This only happens if you are using the option to Replace Straight Quotes With Smart Quotes in the Options dialog. This option automatically maps the standard keyboard apostrophe (ANSI code 039) with a diacritical or “curly” apostrophe (ANSI code 146). If you use a standard keyboard apostrophe, the word will be capitalized correctly when you use the Title Case option.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
