Using Word 2007

When using the \* Caps switch in a multi word text field, is there a way to 
avoid capitalizing short words like 'and' or 'of'?

TIA
David

I doubt that this is possible.

As Stefan indicates the answer is no. You cannot format part of a field. 
Word's title case is not that selective either.

If this was a form field that you wanted to format on exit or a piece of 
selected text, you could use a macro run on exit from the form field or 
manually on the selected text - see the example code at 
http://www.gmayor.com/word_vba_examples.htm.- 'True Title Case' . Note that 
if this is a protected form, then you will and need to make the selection 
range the form field result and add code to unprotect and re-protect the 
form to allow it to be formatted
