Terri,

I doubt you'll get that option in DBTW because changing all capitals to capitalized words is actually changing the text, which is not the intent of Duxbury.

Dear Steve,

It will be tedious no matter what program I use.  What I'd like is a setting
for "normal capitalization" and DBT would automatically change the double
caps to normal capitalization when the document is translated into braille.
At least the British can set up DBT for no caps, but we don't even have that
option.  (Of course I can do that with my BN, (grin).

By the way, I miss seeing posts from you on that list.
