Font Effects of paragraph style make no difference (NOTE: They do not impose Title Case either, for that matter)

Note: Menu / Format / Text / Change Case / Capitalize Every Word DOES impose Title Case on all-caps text, which is the way I believe this function should work.

All these observations hold in LO 7.4.3.2 and 7.5 beta.
Comment 2 Paul 2023-01-03 19:39:47 UTC
What does work is to use Find/Replace to "Find All", then use the Menu's "Capitalize Every Word" to impose Title Case.
Comment 3 Dieter 2023-01-29 18:38:02 UTC
Just for clarification: As far as I can see, finding of all-caps text works, so your bug is about replacing them with title case. Correct?
Comment 4 Paul 2023-01-29 19:37:21 UTC
Yes, the Find part works, the Replace does not.
Comment 5 Dieter 2023-01-30 07:46:08 UTC
I can't assess, if replace settings are correct. If you just enter a word into replace dialog, it works. Perhaps you should use ask.libreoffice.org to get a confirmation or correction of replace setting.
