Is it possible to find all occurrences of word A and replace it with word B such that word B will have its first letter capitalized at positions in the document in which the first letter of word A was capitalized? In other words, the replacement text should match the case of each occurrence of the found text in the document.
The only way I can figure out how to do this is by performing the Find and Replace twice, with and without both words capitalized. This seems strange because what I desire seems to be the behavior most users would desire in a Find and Replace.
If this feature truly is missing, I suggest adding a Match Case checkbox alongside the Attribute Sensitive checkbox for the Replace text field.
Also, I suggest moving the Ignore Case checkbox so as to be alongside the Attribute Sensitive checkbox for the Find text field because it appears to affect only the found text, not the replaced text.

Re: Find: Ignore Case (question and/or feature request)
Such a "match case" feature is not currently available, so you'll have to run the replacement more than once I'm afraid. Your suggestions are all good ones though, and I'll make sure to file them away as feature requests. Thanks Bob.
