Last time I had a problem with Chicago Style several of you were
extremely helpful...so here goes again. I need to be able to suppress =
or
create capital letters in titles in Chicago Style. Example: "The
N.A.A.C.P. and Segregation" comes out as "N.A.A.C.P. And Segregation".
If I omit the periods in the acronym (not the correct rendering of the
title reference by the way) I get "Naacp and..." How do I stop the
period after P forcing a capitalized A?
The reverse of the problem occurs in the title "The GOP and World
Events", which appears as "The Gop and World Events". In this case how
do I force a string of capital letters without interposing periods?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Greg,
For your first question, I believe the problem can be solved by changing the
settings for title capitalization. You can do this by:
EDIT --> OUTPUT STYLES --> EDIT "Chicago..." (if it is the style in use)
Open the "BIBLIOGRAPHY" subtree
Select "TITLE CAPITALIZATION"
Select "LEAVE TITLES AS ENTERED"
If you are using footnotes, do the same under the "FOOTNOTES" subtree.
All titles will retain the capitalization you used when entering them.
Using this approach, however, you have to make sure all titles in the
database are using the capitalization you want (i.e., if you have mixed
capitalization in your title fields, you will have mixed capitalization in
your footnotes/bibliography)'
For your second question,
EDIT --> PREFERENCES
Select "CHANGE CASE"
Enter the term you want capitalization retained for (i.e., GOP)
Click "ADD" -- clicking ADD is important; if you just hit enter, it won't
work.
Hope that helps,
Anthony
