Showing how to quickly change text case using a simple keystroke has always been a favorite tip during a training class or webinar. We love sharing keystrokes because they can make our lives so much easier. Do you have a favorite keystroke? Share it in the comments below!
Text in All Caps
Sometimes, you will work with a document where someone has typed a company name and address in all caps or you might copy text from an internet source that was typed in all caps. Instead of retyping the information in the correct case, try these steps first:
- Select the text that is in the wrong case
- Press Shift+F3
It couldn’t be simpler!
Text Case Options Using Keyboard
Pressing Shift+F3 toggles through three different case options: ALL CAPS, all lowercase, and All Title Case. Keep your text selected, and continue pressing Shift+F3 until the text looks the way you want it.
Change Case: Home Ribbon
You have a few additional options if you want to change text case. Select the text and make sure you are viewing the Home Ribbon. Click on the Change Case option. This will show several choices:
- Sentence Case – capitalizes the first letter of each sentence
- Lowercase – all selected text will be lowercase
- Uppercase – capitalizes each letter
- Title Case – capitalizes the first letter of each word
- Toggle Case – switches the case of each letter in the selection
Happy Learning!
