bm2By default, this command will first convert the selected text to lowercase before capitalizing each word.  This ensures that the command operates as expected when processing text in all uppercase.  Converting to lowercase may disrupt some all-caps words (such as acronyms) that should have remained in uppercase, so you should review the results for accuracy after applying the conversion.  If you prefer that the selected text not be forced to lowercase prior to operation, you can change this behavior on the Configure | Preferences | Editing dialog page.
