Toggle between CAPS and lower case
Select the text and then, on the Format menu, click Change Case.
Select the desired option, and click OK. Alternatively, try the Shift+F3 shortcut. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "rmellison" wrote in message ...

Toggle between CAPS and lower case
Hi!
I've placed a button in my Format toolbar, and find it quite handy. I have Word 2002, and I don't know if the following instructions would apply to other versions. Right-click anywhere on any toolbar, select 'Commands' tab, 'Format' Category, scroll down the Commands list to the 'Change Case' items (there are 2) and drag/drop them onto a toolbar of your choice. The first command has no button image - this one acts like Shift+F3, while the one with an image brings up a choice menu. Copy and paste the image from the second button onto the button that has no image, delete that second button and select 'Default Style' from the first button's right-click drop down menu. That's it, I think - hope it works, if you wanna try it. :-) |

Although Alt+F3 will do what you want, you might also want to consider that
Ctrl+Shift+A applies the All Caps property, which in many cases is more appropriate than formatting as UPPERCASE. The difference is as follows: 1. Applying UPPERCASE is the same as typing with Caps Lock on. Word always sees every letter as capitalized. This property can be applied only by either typing with Caps Lock on (or Shift depressed) or by using Format | Change Case to apply it; it cannot be made part of a paragraph or character style. 2. Applying All Caps doesn't change the underlying text, just causes the letters to display and print as capitals. Because it is a font property, it can be made part of a paragraph or character style. Say you have a heading "The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World." If you apply the UPPERCASE format to this heading, you will see THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD both in your document and in the TOC. But if you have included the All Caps property as part of your heading style definition, the heading will be capitalized in the document but in mixed case in the TOC. Moreover, if you apply All Caps to the text and then remove the All Caps property, you will get the title you started with. If you apply UPPERCASE and then change to Title Case, you will get "The Seven Wonders Of The Ancient World" (Word capitalizes *every* word), making more work for you. Typing in All Caps is easier than using Caps Lock, too. If you apply All Caps and type the heading above, capitalizing normally, you'll still get all caps (with mixed case underneath); if you type it with Caps Lock on, you'll either get "tHE sEVEN wONDERS OF THE aNCIENT wORLD" or, with AutoCorrect enabled, Word will see "tHE" as a mistake and turn Caps Lock off. -- Suzanne S.
