How do I change any character after a colon to a capital letter

[Guest]

I would like to know if I can do a find and replace that I could tell Word to
change whatever character is after my colon to a capital letter. Is this
possible?

No, nor is it correct most of the time.

Thank you, Suzanne. I thought maybe there was a wildcard key that I could
use. I guess that means that I cannot make a macro that tells word that each
time it sees a colon in a specific style, to make the next letter a
capital??? (I know, I'm beginning to sound desparate...)

Yes. Do: "Find :^$ Highlight all items found" The do Format|Change
case|Upper

I'll try it, thank you!

Yes. Do: "Find :^$ Highlight all items found" The do Format|Change
case|Upper

Or replace
:[a-z]
with
^& format font > all caps
Note that if you use a space after the colon, this will not appear to do
anything - you must insert the space in the search string.
