Answer: CAPITAL LETTERS SEEM TO BE STUCK ON
Hey there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with capital letters getting stuck on in Microsoft Word. This can be frustrating, but luckily there's an easy fix.
First, try pressing the Caps Lock key on your keyboard. This key toggles the capitalization feature on and off, so if it's currently on, pressing it should turn it off and allow you to type in lowercase letters again. If that doesn't work, you can try holding down the Shift key and typing a letter. This should produce a lowercase letter even if Caps Lock is on. If it does, then the issue is likely with your keyboard and not with Word. If neither of those solutions work, you can check the settings in Word to make sure that the capitalization feature is turned off. Here's how:
This should prevent capital letters from getting stuck on in the future.

Sounds like a keyboard problem. Try another keyboard and see if that helps.
Word doesn't control stickyness of your keys. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "chredwen" wrote in message ... Occasionally capital letters seem to get stuck on. How can I unlock them? |

Hi
Select the text that's bothering you | Format | Change Case Sometimes, if a phrase is formatted as UPPERCASE, and you try to delete a letter within the phraswe and replace it with a lower case, it won't let you because the text in that phrase has been set to allow only uppercase values.

The keyboard shortcut to put things in uppercase is Shift/F3. It actually
toggles between Upper, lower and title case. I know that sometimes users hit this key combination by accident and don't realize it. If you hit Shift/F3 again, it will get you out of uppercase. "chredwen" wrote: Occasionally capital letters seem to get stuck on. How can I unlock them? |

The Shift+F3 shortcut has no effect on typing; it is used only to change the
case of selected text. Only the CapsLock key or Ctrl+Shift+A (All Caps) will produce all caps formatting. -- Suzanne S.

Perhaps you've pressed the Caps Lock key or Ctrl+Shift+A, which applies the
All Caps property? -- Suzanne S.

I am having a similar issue. Occasionally, my laptop types as though it has
the shift key depressed. However, the shift key is not stuck. Also, the Stickey Keys function is not turned on. Any ideas? "Suzanne S.

If the caps lock button is not set, you are using an all caps font or have
an all caps font attribute set. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org jroessler wrote: I am having a similar issue.
