See

Geocoding Your Table Automatically on page 78

for a description of the Geocode dialog.

An output address without a house number remains in uppercase. This is to accommodate cases
such as PO BOX 233. Streets such as McFly are handled so that the letter following Mc is
capitalized. However, a word like MacIntosh is not handled because it cannot be differentiated from
a word like Macoun.
