CHANGE CASE - MS Word 2007 Tutorial

Author: Navin Kumar

In KG classes, you must have learnt writing text in small letters and capital letters. The small letters are known as Lowercase letters and the capital letters are referred to as Uppercase letters.

Microsoft Word 2007 allows you to change case of letters in typed text of a document. It offers five choices for changing text case:

1. Sentence case: MS Word will capitalize the first letter of the first word in every sentence in the selected text, just as you do when writing sentences.
2. Lowercase: All letters are changed to lowercase.
3. Uppercase: All letters are changed to uppercase.
4. Capitalise Each Word (also called the Title Case): First letter of each word in the selected text is capitalized, as is normally done while typing title of a chapter or document.
5. Toggle Case: MS Word reverses the case of each letter in the selected text – all uppercase letters are changed to lowercase and all lowercase ones to uppercase.
