How about when capitalising a word starting with IJ? Would you need to include a dictionary with words like IJsselmeer in any program that can capitalise words? (I guess IJsselmeer isn't the best example given that at least in (we-don't-need-no-stinken-non-ASCII-chars) English it _always_ has the capital, but does Word know to not lowercase the J?) -- Tristan.
