Keith, I like your solution (and Brian's, which is as elegant as the way he presented it), but am 
confused about step 3: do you /really/ right-click (for context menu)? From step 1, you already have the 
first letter of each paragraph in focus; don't you just go from there to the main menu 
<Format-Text-UPPERCASE>? [The order of steps 2 and 3 has no effect - or, to put it another way, 
step 2 is not essential to your solution.]
