[turn off all caps]

I am new to 2007 and was tracking changes when all of a sudden I must have
hit a key that turned on the all caps. I don't know how to turn it off.

To turn off the all caps function in Microsoft Word 2007, follow these steps:

1. Highlight the text that is in all caps.
2. Click on the "Home" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
3. Look for the "Font" section of the ribbon and click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner of that section.
4. In the "Font" dialog box that appears, make sure the "All Caps" box is unchecked.
5. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.

If you accidentally hit the "Caps Lock" key on your keyboard, that could also be the reason why all your text is in all caps. To turn off the "Caps Lock" function, simply hit the "Caps Lock" key again.

The default shortcut for all caps formatting is Ctrl+Shift+A, so
that's probably what you hit by mistake.

There are several ways to turn it off, both for text you already typed
and for new text. Select the existing text and/or the character or
paragraph mark to the right of the cursor. Then do one of these:

- Press Ctrl+Shift+A again. It's an on/off toggle.
- Right-click, select Font to open the Font dialog, and uncheck the
All Caps box. Click OK.
- Press Ctrl+D, which opens the same Font dialog.
- Press Ctrl+spacebar, which removes any font formatting that isn't
part of the current style. That includes All Caps.
- On the Home ribbon, in the Font group, click the Clear Formatting
button (the last one in the top row), which does the same as
Ctrl+spacebar.
