How do I create a style that will "Title Case" automatically?

I am adding styles to a template. One of those styles needs to be "Title
Case" but that option isn't there under Modify/Format/Fonts. Does anyone
know of a way to do this? The writers that will be using the template could
manually select the style and globally update it but what then is the point
of creating a style to begin with, right? Thanks for any help that can be
provided.
 
Styles control the way text appears. I need the text to appear in title case
form. I can create a style that will make everything I type upper case. I
can create a style that can make everything I type small caps. If it is how
I need the text to display in a template initially, then it is part of the
desired format.
 
To put it a different way, anything that can be set in any of the following
dialogs can be incorporated in a paragraph style:

Format | Font
Format | Paragraph
Format | Tabs
Format | Frame
Tools | Langauge | Set Language
Format | Bullets and Numbering
Format | Borders and Shading

Anything else (such as Format | Change Case or Insert | AutoText) can't be
incorporated in a style.

Small caps is a typographic feature. Title case is a matter of orthography,
and thus not part of the format.
 
If it must be so... :(

Regardless, I do thank you for the information and your swift response.
Feel free to find a way to add this feature to future versions!
 
Just in case you think you're talking to Microsoft, you're not (unless you
post a "Suggestion for Microsoft").

My apologies. I glanced at the electronic signature below your name
(Microsoft MVP (Word) ) but failed to acknowledge the business name or
location that followed.

Regardless, thanks for your insight.
