Shourtcut to change text written in upper case to lower case
I often accidentally press the caps button and realise too late that I've
entered a lot of text in upper case, and then have to go back on myself and re-type the entire thing in lower case. I'd like there to be a shortcut that can be used, whereby you can highlight the text that you've entered in upper case, do the shortcut, and it changes the text to lower case- saving a lot of time when errors are made. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Shourtcut to change text written in upper case to lower case
Hi,
There already is such a shortcut key. Select your text and press Shift+F3 once or twice until you have the capitalization that you want. Shift+F3 alternates between all uppercase, all lowercase, and first letter of each word uppercase. -- Hope this helps, Pesach Shelnitz My Web site: http://makeofficework.com "becksm" wrote: I often accidentally press the caps button and realise too late that I've entered a lot of text in upper case, and then have to go back on myself and re-type the entire thing in lower case.

Shourtcut to change text written in upper case to lower case
From your message headers it appears you're posting from Windows.
If Windows is where you do your work, the following small freeware program called FlipCase might help. It places a small icon in your system tray; whenever you leftclick on the icon, text in the clipboard has its case altered in accordance with your preferred configuration options. So you can just highlight the wrongly-cased text, copy, leftclick on the icon, then paste. You can use it no matter what application you're typing in - it need not be Word. You can find it at http://adriancarter.homestead.com .
