Studio changes All Caps to regular text during project creation?

Question

We receive documents where the first line is usually in uppercase and the rest of the document is regular text. When creating a project Studio seems to insist on having only the first letter in uppercase and the rest as regular text. See original document at top of pic and then Studio version. Any ideas ?

Screenshot showing a document in Trados Studio with the first line 'COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 20223' incorrectly formatted with only the first letter capitalized, compared to the original document where the entire line is in uppercase.

 Might be that the all caps is not due to all characters being uppercase, but through the font style? Since the font used in the editor (your screenshot) is obviously not identical with the font used in the document... 
 Can you try entering some translation and exporting the target document, just to have a look whether it's back to all caps there?

The styles would be usually preserved. What can happen is, that the template used for this Word file is not present where Word is being processed and thus the changes appear. Without seeing the file I cannot tell you more. 
 Would it be possible to leave the paragraph in question and few following paragraphs (you can replace text with anything, preferably with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum ) and upload the file here? This would make the sherlocking investigations for Watsons here easier.

 In your document the caps lock effect is achieved by applying the "caps lock" attribute manually (clicking "Font" and then "Caps lock" in Word). 
 Trados correctly imports the respective tags: 
 
 And when I export the target document, it looks like this:

The only problem comes up if I ask Trados to display formatting, but not to display formatting tags: 
 
 Nota bene that there is also a setting to not report missing formatting tags. 
 
 Make sure you have that unchecked, so that Trados warns you if there is an issue with formatting tags. 
 My guess is that these are your settings. (Same thing happened to me before!) 
 Let me know if making formatting tags visible solves the problem (in the "View" tab):
