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 are for controlling formatting. Case changes are not part of the
format.
 
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.
