I've installed Notepad++, but I don't know how to make the change to sentence case only on data in 245 $a $b except to go to each record and make the change one-by-one using TextFX characters > Sentence case.  I've got a file I'm working with right now with 290 records in it.  That will take too long.

I also imported the file into Connexion so I could use Walt Nickeson's great macro (which has the added benefit of a Contents case option for the 505), but that is also a record-by-record process.  

Another thing I've tried is looking at Terry's blog entry dealing with this issue (changing ALL CAPS to First Letter Caps) http://people.oregonstate.edu/~reeset/blog/archives/950.  This has the regular expressions for doing this.  But I don't know anything about regex to see if it can be tweaked to change to sentence case.  Anyone out there want to give it a try?  

I would really love to be able to clean up my records before loading them in my catalog, but maybe I'll just have to load them the way they are.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
