Tony..
The only way I can think of is to go through the document text letter
by letter. Test to see if the text is in a header or that the next
letter is lower case and in those cases move to the next capital
letter. The procedure could then pick up any set of characters that
has 2 or more capitals next to each other. Would that do the job do
you think? How big is the document? For massive docs this may be too
slow.
