Thanks a lot, but still there are problems.

My fault in the too simple code posted.

Consider the following

(tmp <- with(expand.grid(Fact1 = 1:3, Fact2 = c(letters[1:20], LETTERS[1:20])), table(Fact1, Fact2))

> Fact2 Fact1 a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t A B C D E F G H I 
> 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 
> 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 
> 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Fact2 Fact1 J K L M N O P Q R 
> S T 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 
> 1 1 1

>From this table I can easily see, in the 1st row (Fact1) 
which are the observations for the minuscule as well for the MAJUSCULE

while in

(tmp2 <- rbind(tmp[,1:20], tmp[,21:40]))

> a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 
> 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 
> 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 
> 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 
> 1 1 1 1 1 1
 the infomation on the MAJUSCULE factor is completely missing (hided).
