Some of my First & Middle Name entries are all UPPER CASE, some in Upper and Lower Case. I'd like them to be consistent.
Changing case of Last Name is easy, but how about First & Middle Names?
Many thanks!

No, I'm sorry. There isn't an option to automatically change this in Reunion 8. Unfortunately, you will need to change the entries manually.

If the inconsistency of upper and lower case first and middle names comes from importing another gedcom, then I might suggest that you leave it the way it is as it is a visual clue that it came from somewhere else when you print reports. It might look a bit funny, but it does indeed work. I do a lot of work with Montgomery Co., PA, Pennsylvania Dutch settlers. Some 10 years ago I received a gedcom from a fellow researcher who has since passed away. It was easier than having to enter well over 2000 names (I sent him him and he found it also easier that we simply exchanged). I merged the two files (thank goodness for Reunion's match and merge). As a result, in addition to a flag and a source, it is visually easy to determine if I am responsible for the data, or if it comes from Harrison Cassel. Just a suggestion! Michel
