Unable to type in lower case in Word 2000
No matter whether Caps Lock is on or off I can only type a document in
capitals. I suspect there is a combination of keys I've inadvertently pressed to causse this but I'm unable to solve this. Even using the shift key results in Caps only. This is very frustrating. Can any one help? I'm using Word 2000, a bit of a dinosaur, I know, but perfectly adequate for my needs at present. (Or it was)! |

It sounds like the All Caps font format has become applied to the text in your Normal.dot template. To check if this is the case, select some piece of the text in a document that's all capitals and go to Format Font. If the All Caps box is checked, uncheck it and click OK, which should fix the selected text -- if it was typed lower case, it should now be lower case. If that works, follow the Method 1 steps in http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErr...ocNotBlank.htm to remove the All Caps format from Normal.dot. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
