Always save a copy of your document before manipulating it. Mac compatible versions of Word should have similar options. Please note, these hints work with versions of Microsoft Word currently in use – Word 2003, Word 2007 and Word 2010, all for PC.
This is so useful if you’re grappling with a bibliography you’ve written or you’re editing (especially when the capitalisation in article or book titles is not consistent), or if you accidentally type something all in capitals. Magic! With each press of shift-F3 it will cycle through Title Case (2), UPPER CASE (3) and then back to lower case (4).
With the sentence still highlighted, press shift and F3 at the same time.
Sometimes you really want to change a sentence from, maybe, all lower case to All Title Case, or ALL CAPITALS to all lower case, or some other variant.Īnd you know how to do it, right: delete the sentence and retype it, or delete the first letter of each word and retype it, or turn on overtype then forget to turn it back to insert when you’ve finished … well, there is a way to just do it with a couple of keystrokes! How do I change all small letters to all capitals or all capitals to all lower case letters? Save the file in Word 2003 format, and now when you choose Insert – WordArt, you’ll see the legacy choices.This i s part of my series on how to avoid time-consuming “short cuts” and use Word in the right way to maximise your time and improve the look of your documents. Does that give you what you want? If not, you can still get the old style. Insert a WordArt object, then, in Drawing Tools – Format, look at Text Effects – Transform.
