This did not work. In Word 2003, I would use wildcards, for example, Find A.
$^
Then I would check "highlight all" , then return... then I would use the
change case feature to uppercase. In Word 2007, the "highlight all" key is
not there and the highlight options do not select text, they just highlight
it. How would I get it to select the first letter of everything in my
document that comes after say A. so that I can change just that letter?

I can't say that it is entirely clear what exactly you want to make upper
case and I suspect you mean ^$ and not $^ (neither of which would work with
the wildcard option set) however the following macro will request the search
string and make all the found versions Upper Case. The entered search string
is case sensitive so searching for A. ^$ will find only uppercase A followed
by a full stop (period) followed by any letter.
Sub MakeUCase()
Dim oRng As Range
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
With oRng.Find
.Text = InputBox("Enter string to find")
Do While .Execute(Forward:=True, _
MatchCase:=True) = True
oRng.Case = wdUpperCase
Loop
End With
End Sub

If by "everything" you mean everything up to the next return, you could use
this search string"
A.^t([A-Za-z0-9 .,']{1,})^13
with wild card search enabled to select all text after A.tab (if there is no
tab, delete the ^T). You can use shft+F3 apply the title case to the
selected text. If you can modify Graham's macro ( add your string, set wild
cards to true, and change to title case), you could do this in one step.

Pam... I understand your string; however, how do I enable the wildcard search
to "select" the text? In Word 2003, there was a box to check in Find that
said highlight all and it actually selected the text... but in 2007, it is a
reading highlight, not a selection highlight... I'm sure I'm missing
something here... what I need is to select text in a list, example A. yes,
sir. Q. What is your name? A. pam. So I want to find and select for
change every instance in a document where there's an A. (any letter, ie, ^$)
and then I can just do a change case to uppercase after they are all
selected...

In the find and replace dialog, click the find-in button, and from the drop-
down, choose main document (that may be the only choice). All the found
paragraphs will be _selected_.

The macro I posted yesterday will do that if you enter your string in the
dialog box. If you want it to address the specific example you just quoted,
then change the code to
Dim oRng As Range
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
With oRng.Find
.Text = "A. ^$"
Do While .Execute(Forward:=True, _
MatchCase:=True) = True
oRng.Case = wdUpperCase
Loop
End With
Note that you have shown two spaces after A. in your example and reproduced
above.
