Changing cases

[sliptdisk]

I seem to remember a function in Word that will change the case of highlighted text from all caps to lower case, or, even capitalizing the first word in a sentence, but, I can't remember where it is, or find info on it. Can you help?

Try Format/Change Case from the menu bar (if you are working in a document and not in code).

Thanks, Larry. That helped. I was looking for a function that would allow me to leave the first letters in sentences capitalized, but, that will just have to do. Better than nuttin'.

Hello Sliptdisk,

Actually, Larry had it correct "Format" select "Change Case" then select "Sentence Case" this will then Capitalize the first letter in the sentence.

I think the function you are looking for is proper()

Good Luck,
Michael

Excellent. Thanks! Now, I'm the office guru, again.

Just an extra tip.

Try selecting the text and using Shift+F3

That will cycle through the different case formatting options. It's much quicker than using the menus.

Even better! I think that's the one I remember from way back, on a tip of the day, or something - a couple of years ago. Thanks.
