I see what you mean. There is a huge difference between a 'real' small caps
font set and simply applying the small caps attribute.

You are both missing the point. The Small Caps property in Word just
applies
All Caps at a smaller font size, and the small caps are not proportional
to
the true capitals. Fonts that include true small caps may have them in
different Unicode positions from the normal alphabet, but the ones I have
have them in place of the lowercase characters. It is thus necessary to
apply the Small Caps font instead of the Small Caps property of the parent
font. For example, I have an Adobe font called Old Style 7, along with Old
Style 7 SC. When I want small caps in that font, I have to type in
ordinary
C&lc and apply the Old Style 7 SC font.

If this were the case, then one could create a character style for that
font and assign a keyboard shortcut (even Ctrl+Shift+K if desired).

BTW, the keyboard shortcut for small caps is Ctrl+Shift+K; Ctrl+K is
Insert Hyperlink. It is possible that, like me, you have swapped them
because you use small caps more often than you insert hyperlinks.

Small Caps is a font attribute and it can be toggled on/off just like
italics, bold or underlines. The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+K: just select
the text and execute Ctrl+K.

But if you use this more than just the odd occasion, then follow Graham's
recommendation and create a style for it.

Similar problem here.....

Some of my fonts have small capitals. Is there any way to access the
small capitals using the keyboard, rather than Insert Character?
