OK, but a little more error handling wouldn't hurt (and it would be possible
to either put the cursor between the characters or select them, but I
haven't time to add that now. Maybe tomorrow).
Sub Transpose()
Dim oRng As Range
Dim sText As String
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
If ActiveDocument.Characters.Count 2 Then
Set oRng = Selection.Range
If Len(oRng) 0 Then
MsgBox "You must place the cursor between the 2 characters to be
transposed!", _
vbCritical, "Transpose Characters"
Exit Sub
End If
With oRng
.Start = .Start - 1
.End = .End + 1
.Select
sText = .Text
End With
With Selection
If .Range.Characters(1).Case = 1 _
And .Range.Characters(2).Case = 0 Then
.TypeText UCase(Mid(sText, 2, 1)) & _
LCase(Mid(sText, 1, 1))
Else
.TypeText Mid(sText, 2, 1) & _
Mid(sText, 1, 1)
End If
.MoveLeft wdCharacter
End With
Else
MsgBox "Empty document", _
vbCritical, "Transpose Characters"
End If
End
ErrorHandler:
If Err.Number = 4248 Then
MsgBox "No document open", _
vbCritical, "Transpose Characters"
End If
End Sub

One other thing (I hoped to add this before you saw the thread
again!): can you make it work on two characters that the cursor is
between, rather than having to select the two characters?

Wow -- I don't think anyone's bothered to fix the _case_ where it's
involved in a transposition before! And Ctrl-T is the Hanging Indent
shortcut -- which I always do with either the Ruler or the Paragraph
Format tool, since anything automatic would have to be adjusted
anyway,so it will have its own perfectly intuitive command! Thanks!
Now to relocate the install-macro instructions ...

As for transposing two selected characters, that macro would work,
but I suspect the following refinement might suit the task better
Sub Transpose()
Dim sText As String
sText = Selection.Range.Text
If Len(sText) 2 Then
MsgBox "You must select 2 characters!", _
vbCritical, "Transpose Characters"
Exit Sub
End If
If Selection.Range.Characters(1).Case = 1 _
And Selection.Range.Characters(2).Case = 0 Then
Selection.TypeText UCase(Mid(sText, 2, 1)) & _
LCase(Mid(sText, 1, 1))
Else
Selection.TypeText Mid(sText, 2, 1) & _
Mid(sText, 1, 1)
