Auto-correct for standardized capitalization in names and addresses

Lots of people who sign up for an event or give online use all lower-case in their name and address. It would be great if The Databank automatically formatted names and address so the first letter is capitalized, so we don't have to fix each one individually (often not caught until after the letter is printed, which costs us time). Thanks!

  I know this is an old feature request, but I just want to second it. The lack of data normalization - for instance, enforcing uppercase letter at the start of name, lowercase for the remainder of name, in the firstname/lastname fields, or requiring consistent formatting of phone numbers, i.e., (000) 000-0000, makes it easier for errors to creep in. We would also like to have the ability to control for a particular type of data entry, specifically, for our purposes email address have to be all lowercase or the registration won't work properly. We ask students to use all lowercase letters, but they often don't if they're used to typing their email address with some uppercase.
