From the Change Case options, you can make text all lower case, all upper case, sentence case, toggle case or title case.
Simply make your choice and click OK.
Its a nice feature and it works perfectly, but wouldnt you like an even quicker way?
Yeah, everybody always wants to get the job done a little bit faster. I know I do!
So, heres a quick keyboard version of the Change Case feature.
Highlight your text to be changed and hit Shift + F3.
Dont like the case format you get?
No problem. Hit Shift + F3 again.
Poof! The text will change again. (Still dont like it? Then keep up with the Shift + F3. It will just keep rotating through the Change Case options until you find the one you need).
Wait, theres more! Heres a bonus to the whole Change Case thing.
Theres actually two different types of all caps. That is, if you know how to tap into the other set, known as small caps.
"See the" was done in regular caps, whereas "difference" was done with small caps.
Next question: How do we get the small caps?
Thats a good question and fortunately, its easy to answer.
When youve got something that needs to be emphasized (but not screamed at the reader), youve got something thats a good candidate for the small caps format.
To change text to small caps, simply highlight the text to be changed and then press Shift+ Ctrl + K on your keyboard. This will take your lower case typing and turn it into small caps. If you hit the key combination again, it will return your text to lower case characters.
You can also combine this with the Shift + F3 options. The small caps will replace the lower case option in the rotation of formats.
Thats it. Just another way to get your point across, without over emphasizing!
