The subject line says it all. Evidently I have a heavy finger on the shift key and it doesn't get off as quickly as it should. FOr example...

Unless you're really bored and want to enter in all possible words that you may double cap (eg: "FOr", "THe", "ALl", etc), this isn't possible. It is however filed as a feature request that we should add.

Here is a workaround.

Open Find/Replace.
Enable PowerFind Pro.
Uncheck Ignore Case.
In the Search box, type: \<A> Convert > To Capitalized.

But, mind, this changes uppercase words too (that is "CHAPTER FIRST" becomes "Chapter First"). If so, try to narrow the search by specifying the formatting.

Hope this helps. Henry.

I posted two related macros to do this at:

Although I wrote them for NWX, they appear to work in NWP.

Oh my!

I didn't preview before posting, so html turned the text into a mess.
Below is the original:

Open Find/Replace.
Enable PowerFind Pro.
Uncheck Ignore Case.
In the Search box, type: \<[A-Z][A-Z]+
Click on Find All
Select Edit > Convert > To Capitalized.

I tried your macro. As it is, the code skips all-caps words, such as TOGETHER or FRONT, and any two-character word, like TO and IF.
It should be corrected as follows:

In line No. 9, substitute:
[a-z]*
for:
[a-z]+

I hope this will help for now.

Henry.

Thanks for the macros.

For me, though, much of the typing I do is so short it doesn't seem that running a macro on each and every item is something I am going to do.

Probably I should focus on improving my typing! I remembered the "correct double caps" option from some program's prefs and just thought I'd mention it; now it's in the list of potential future additions to NWP.
