Default How do I change/convert the case of text in Word 2007?

I cannot find the tool to change the case of text in Word 2007. I am looking
for the "Change Case" function that used to be in the Format menu on prior
versions of Word.

This was answered two days ago by Jay Freedman:

The Change Case button is on the Home ribbon, in the Font group, at
the right end of the bar that includes the Bold and Italic buttons.
The shortcut Shift+F3 still works, too.

Thanks, Suzanne.

And to whoever is in charge of Word 2007's help function, it could use some
"help". I tried searching for "change case" and got no results related to the
"change case function". Its hard for old dogs like me to get used to change,
but I should have been able to use the help function for something as basic
as this...

Somewhere in Help there's a command reference that tells where everything
now is.

Well, actually, it is true. Dawn has given a link to the online version
(http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...T100766331033&
vwidth=1044&vheight=788&type=flash&CTT=11&Origin=H A100744321033), but my
understanding is that it is available in offline Help as well.

What's up with the "change case" function? In order to change a sentence
that's in Title Case to Sentence Case, I have to go to "Lower Case" first to
take out all the caps and then ask for Sentence Case. Just using Sentence
Case used to do the trick in Word 2003, AND it ignored text in all caps like
acronyms. Who added this "unrequested feature"?

Does your selection include a sentence punctuation (period, question
mark, exclamation point) at the end, and none within the selection?
