Capitalizing titles.
Capitalizing titles.
When I use Bookends to do a library search for a book, Bookends formats the reference quite nicely for my MLA-style bibliography, except for one glaring problem: book titles are, apart from the first word, all in lower-case! I can see that this is how the libraries themselves store the title data (APA-style, I guess) but is there any way to get these titles in their authentic capitalizations? Without that, I'd have to go in a capitalize them all by hand, which would very much defeat any usefulness of this program.

Hi,
All you need to do is open the MLA format (click the Edit button) and use a pop-up menu to set titles to Title Case (do this for each Type is applies to).
BTW, if this is a requirement for MLA, please send the edited format to me and I'll include it with our release.

P.S. Note there is a "don't change case" list in Preferences where you can exclude words you don't want capitalized, such as a, an, it, etc.
