Hello,
One issue that I've come across is the need to preserve case with suffixes or partial words. The most common example would be ordinal numbers: "19th" becomes "19Th" in title case, and simply adding "th" to the list of "Don't change case" terms does not help. Only when "th" appears by itself, without other adjacent characters, is the case preserved. This also occurs with titles that include "circa" dates, where "English cooking c.1500" becomes "English Cooking C.1500"
It seems that some sort of wildcard function would be required to handle these instances, such as "??th" or "*th". But this could get complicated: how to preserve case on "19th", but not "bath" or "tooth"? A specifically numerical wildcard?
Anyway, it's not too much trouble to correct these after generating the bibliography, but it sure would be nice if it were dealt with properly, someday...

I am having a similiar problem with French titles. In a word like épître BE changes the first letter to give Epître. I cannot enter all the possible combinations of the several languages I use in the Don't Change Case dialog box. Isn't there a way to simply deactivate the Change Case function altogether?

Good,
But ... which tab where (I have been using BE for about a week only)? I checked the format manager but it is not there. I spotlighted the user guide but dit not find it either.
Thanks.
