at the bottom of the scrolling dialog. In the Web Options, either uncheck the
"Disable features not supported in these browsers" or pick a later browser
version that does support small caps.

It's not Word's decision, unfortunately. HTML operates to a set of protocols
that don't include small caps so Word can't do HTML with small caps :(
Have you tried using a typeface that has small caps as part of the font -
Bank Gothic, Copperplate Gothic, Palatin Small Caps ...
Or you could put some html styling in - example below:
Have a look at "View > HTML Source. Let's assume you have a line that has
"Some text on it." - you should see something like:
<p class=MSoNormal>Some text on it.</p>
The following modification would make the word "text" appear at 80% of the
normal size.
<p class=MSoNormal>Some <span style="font-size:80%">text</span> on it.</p>
If you were then to put the word "text" in caps, you'd have small caps for
that span.
I know that it looks a bit cumbersome but, once typed, it's a quick copy and
multiple paste.
'pologies if that's granny to such HTML eggs - and now someone will be along
to show you that you *can* switch on small caps in HTML.

Re: Small caps function switched off
Yes indeed. That someone was Jay Freedman.
I am happy to say that his solution worked, although I believe one has
to make the change for every separate document.
Anyway, I am much relieved now.
By the way, for those who are curious, Gigantochloa apus Kurtz. is a
species of bamboo. (I do not know whether this scientific name has
been changed since 1951. Scientific names for animals and plants do
change as our knowledge of species increases.)
Kind regards,
many thanks Jay and Peter for your almost immediate reactions,
Rob.
