Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.3-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

oowriter can format text so that The First Letter Of Each Word Is
Capitalized. Since this is formatting and the letters in the text aren't
actually replaced with the capital version, the capitalization is lost when
saving to a text file. This, I think, is not what the user expects.

The text export filter should, imo, do its best to approximate the state of
the text as the user sees it, not as it is represented internally. While
this isn't feasible for layout, it's very well feasible for capitalization.

A different solution to this problem would be to introduce an equivalent of
MS Word's "ChangeCase" command (bound to Shift-F3 by default), which toggles
between 'no caps' - 'all caps' - 'title-style caps' by actually changing the
text, not formatting. This was what I was trying to approximate with OOo's
'font effects' stuff, but in its current form the feature is only marginally
useful, because I save to text files a lot.

I realize there are macros out there that do what I want, but I think this
functionality should ship with openoffice (whether as a macro or not).
