Change Case of Text in Word

Some people Tend to use UpperCase and lowercase cREATIVELY. Others like to emphasize Words they consider Important. A few like to SHOUT. If it only happens once in a while to a few words, it's no big deal to change the text manually to the case you want. But if you want to change the case of a long string of text, Word 2007 comes to the rescue with its Change Case command.

To alter the case format of text:

1. Select the text that you want to change the case of.
2. On the Home tab, in the Font group, click the Change Case, and then click the case option that you want.
   
   

• To capitalize the first letter of a sentence and leave all other letters as lowercase, click Sentence case.
• To make all of the letters lowercase, click lowercase.
• To capitalize all of the letters, click UPPERCASE.
• To capitalize the first letter of each word and leave the other letters lowercase, click Capitalize Each Word.
• To shift between two case views (for example, to shift between Capitalize Each Word and the opposite, cAPITALIZE eACH wORD), click tOGGLE cASE.

SHORTCUT -- Use the Shift-F3 Key Combination! When you have a document loaded with case errors and you don't want to bother with menus and dialog boxes, you can select your text and press Shift-F3 until you get the case you want. This key combination toggles between upper, lower, and title case.
