Word 2007 Change Case feature??
There used to be a Change Case feature in Word 2003 and I can't seem to
find it in Word 2007. I need to be able to change all caps to sentence case, and use some of the other features of that as well. I looked in Word 2007 help, but can't find it. Is it in Word 2007? Thanks! Kristie |

Word 2007 Change Case feature??
As in previous versions shift+F3 toggles through the case options. Otherwise
click the Aa button in the font group on the Home tab -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Kristie Cochran wrote: There used to be a Change Case feature in Word 2003 and I can't seem to find it in Word 2007.

Word 2007 Change Case feature??
Hi Kristie,
The shortcut key for doing this is Shift+F3, which works in Word 2007 just as it does in Word 2003. Select some text and press Shift+F3, which cycles through no caps, all caps, and sentence caps. -- Hope this helps, Pesach Shelnitz "Kristie Cochran" wrote: There used to be a Change Case feature in Word 2003 and I can't seem to find it in Word 2007.

Thanks all! I didn't know about that shortcut key! This saves me loads
of time! Kristie Pesach Shelnitz wrote: Hi Kristie, The shortcut key for doing this is Shift+F3, which works in Word 2007 just as it does in Word 2003. Select some text and press Shift+F3, which cycles through no caps, all caps, and sentence caps. |

Word 2007 Change Case feature??
If you use the Help feature in Word to search "Change Case" , it tells you
only about clicking the Change Case icon. In other words, you're encouraged to take your hands off the keyboard and use the mouse, which is counterproductive. No mention is made of the Shift F3 shortcut which is itself counterproductive because most users, I believe, do not use the function keys often enough to be able to press one without looking for it first. For some reason, Microsoft decided that the drop down menus on the toolbars should be done away with (as well as the toolbars themselves, which tens of millions had learned to use). It used to be you could hit Alt + E for the Edit menu and there would be the Change Case option. No longer. If anyone knows a way other than the Shift F3 shortcut to quickly access the Change Case feature, please let us know. Nothing suggested so far is as efficient as the options available for this or other features in 2003 or earlier versions. Thanks for any followups.

Word 2007 Change Case feature??
You can still use Alt+O, E in Word 2007 to open the Change Case dialog. Or
you can use Alt, H, 7 to open the Change Case menu, which accomplishes the same thing (the accelerator keys on the menu are the same as in the dialog). -- Suzanne S.

Word 2007 Change Case feature??
Change Case is actually on the Format menu (Alt+O, E). And Shift+F3 is not
always very satisfactory because it rotates among only three options, not the full panoply of five offered by the dialog. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2007 Change Case feature??
Wow, thanks so much for that reply. I've never seen that in 2007, and boy,
does that change my view completely. The keyboard access key features I was so familiar with are still there, although I'll probably have to go into 2003 to print out a list of them until I can do them without thinking. I was in error on my previous post, saying Alt + E when, as you pointed out, it should have been Alt + O (for the old Format menu) and then E for "change case". Again, my sincere thanks to you for letting me know about the Access Key feature that will make my transition to 2007 a whole lot easier! "Suzanne S.

Word 2007 Change Case feature??
In addition to the menu accelerator keys, all the other keyboard shortcuts
from earlier version (Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I, Ctrl+D, etc.) also still work in Word 2007, and there is a list of them in the Help file. -- Suzanne S.
