Change Bookmark Case Word Exclusion Options Not Honored
Posted: Wed Jan 15, 2025 5:17 pm
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.
