Word provides a formatting option to show text as uppercase, even when it is not. You apply this option by choosing the All Caps check box on the Font dialog box. (See Figure 1.) (To display the dialog box, choose Tools | Font.) This formatting feature is helpful if you have a selection you want to print as all uppercase, but you may well decide to convert it back to normal upper- and lowercase text later.

Figure 1. The Font dialog box.

If you use this formatting feature quite a bit, it can get bothersome to continually pull up the Font dialog box and click on the All Caps check box. A faster way is to simply select the text you want to affect and then press Ctrl+Shift+A.

Microsoft Word

In Microsoft Word, you can use the keyboard shortcut Shift+F3 to change selected text between uppercase, lowercase, and title case.

Selecting a case

  1. Highlight all the text you want to change. If you want to change the case for the whole document you can use the Ctrl+A keyboard shortcut to select everything.
  2. Hold down Shift and press F3.
  3. When you hold Shift and press F3, the text toggles from sentence case (first letter uppercase and the rest lowercase), to all uppercase (all capital letters), and then all lowercase.

Note

If you are using a laptop or an Apple Mac, the function keys may not be enabled without the use of the Fn key. You may need to hold Fn, in addition to Shift, when you press F3.

If you’re not able to get Shift+F3 to work in Microsoft Word 2007 or later, you can try the following option instead.

  1. In the menu bar, on the Home tab, click the Change Case icon, which has an uppercase ‘A’ and lowercase ‘a.’

  1. Select the appropriate option from the list of values. For example, if you want to change to all uppercase letters, select the UPPERCASE option. If you want to change to all lowercase letters, select the lowercase option.

Tip

Use our text tool to convert any text from uppercase to lowercase.

Quickly convert text to uppercase

Updated on December 19, 2020

When you’re working on a Microsoft Word document and have a string of lowercase text that should be in uppercase, don’t retype it. Instead, use the Word Change Case tool to change some or all of the text to a different case, such as all caps.

Instructions in this article apply to Word for Microsoft 365, Word 2019, Word 2016, Word 2013, and Word 2010.

Microsoft Word Uppercase Shortcut Key

The fastest way to change text to all caps is to highlight the text and press the keyboard shortcut Shift+F3.

Press Ctrl+A to highlight all the text on the page.

You may need to press the shortcut combination a few times because the text in the document might be in another case such as sentence case or all lowercase.

On Word for Mac, select the text you want to change to uppercase, then press ⌘+SHIFT+K.

Change to Uppercase Using the Ribbon

Another way to change the text case is to go to the Home tab on the ribbon.

  1. Select the text you want to change to uppercase, then go to the Home tab.

  2. In the Font group, select the Change Case drop-down arrow.

  3. Choose UPPERCASE to change the selected text to all uppercase letters.

Word Online doesn’t have a shortcut that changes the case of the selected text. Either edit the text manually or open the document in the desktop version of Word to change the case.

Word offers other ways to change the text case:

  • Sentence Case: Capitalize the first letter of each selected sentence and change the remaining text to lower case.
  • lowercase: Change the selected text to lowercase.
  • Capitalize Each Word: Change the first letter of each selected word to uppercase format.
  • tOGGLE cASE: Change the first letter of every word to lowercase and the remaining letters to uppercase.

Any time you change the case format of text in Word, use the Ctrl+Z shortcut to undo it.

Don’t Have Microsoft Word?

Though it’s simple to do this in Microsoft Word, you don’t have to use Word to change the text to all caps. There are online services that perform the same function. For example, go to the Convert Case website or Capitalize My Title website and paste the text into the text field and choose from a variety of cases. Select from uppercase, lowercase, sentence case, capitalized case, alternating case, title case, and inverse case. After the conversion, copy the text and paste it where you need it.
