Change Bookmark Case Word Exclusion Options Not Honored

[PHK]

I am frequently dealing with downloaded documents that employ Roman Numerals in the classic convential outline format. Unfortunately, those are usually followed by topic text headings in all caps. I prefer to create TOCs and Bookmarks where the Roman Numerals are in all caps and the Bookmark text title is in title case.

So, I want to use the Change Bookmark Case tool. But I do not want all the Roman Numerals converted to title case. In other words, I want "II". THIS IS IMPORTANT" to look like "II. This Is Important", not "Ii. This Is Important", with a lower-case "i" as the second character, et cetera. If I understand the intent option to "Exclude the following words" below, I would think I would be able to exclude "II." as a 'word' whose case should be changed. But that does not seem to be the way it works: it ignores this option selection.

Can someone else test this to see if you get the same result? I don't want to say it is a bug but if I am doing something wrong I would like to be pointed to the correct way to achieve my objectives.

Hello, PHK

I think the issue is your use of "quotation marks" around them. The exlucsion list should be comma, semicolon, or colon delimited, there is no need for quotes here. In my test this worked as expected:

Thanks for that, Daniel. The quotation marks in the pop-up "i" mislead me a bit.

Also, I see that if I include the period (".") in the 'word' it doesn't like it. Therefore, I conclude that this

works.

Hello, PHK

It is always a struggle to list various accepted delimiters without causing some confusion along the way. I am sorry that one caught you.

But moving on, I am happy to hear that this is now working for you!

Kind regards,
