Could you add an option to ignore words like 'the', 'a', 'an', 'to' etc when capitalizing?

Many thanks

I've left a message for the script's author but have not yet had a reply, so I thought I'd ask the geniuses over here. wink So, any ideas? Also, I'm wondering what similar scripts others here are using, so alternative suggestions are welcome. T…

Many, many thanks, not just to you but also to the authors of the script(s). A selfless endeavour to the benefit of many! I hope someday to be able (when sufficiently proficient) to do the same.
Best regards
