Word: Switch upper and lower case quickly
Word offers a practical function with which you can display texts completely in CAPITAL LETTERS (capital letters) or convert them back to "normal font" with upper and lower case letters.
Configure case sensitivity in Word
To do this, use the "Uppercase / Lowercase" function in Word, which is somewhat hidden.
- Select the desired text passage, i.e. individual words or entire paragraphs that you want to transform.
- You will then find the function in the ribbon for versions 2007 and 2010 on the »Start« tab in the »Font« area. Click on the "Aa" icon (see screenshot).
- The following menu offers various options that are clearly identifiable by their name and spelling in the menu, for example »UPPERCASE« or »First letter in word capital letters«.
- For older versions of Word you will find the corresponding commands under »Format | Upper / lower case ".
- Word presents the various alternatives in a simple dialog. Activate the desired transformation and confirm with »OK«.
