Need modified Title Case facility

MicroSoft Office PowerPoint 2003 SP1 appears to captialize every
selected word when Title Case is applied. I'd like a way to achieve
more "normal" title capitalization (a la Chicago Manual of Style
8.167). That is, when applying Title Case, do *not* capitalize
articles such as "the", "a", "an" and prepositions (in certain cases),
etc., but *do* always capitalize the first and last words of a title,
regardless. Etc.

Is there a macro out there someplace that might do this? Are there any
other mechanisms for modifying PowerPoint's treatment of Title Case to
do what I'm after?

Thanks!
 
I don't know an answer for you, but I'll confirm that 2003 does this. It's
been *really* irritating me (more than usual!) the past couple of weeks.

Older versions of PPT didn't have this problem.
