Did you know you didn’t need to rely on our title capitalization tool if you use Microsoft Word? Microsoft Word has some basic title capitalization tools that you can use in a pinch if your text is in all caps or has generally messed-up capitalization.

Converting case is really simple in Microsoft Word. If you go to the ribbon option under “Home” for “Change Case” (also found with shortcut ALT+H+7) you’ll find the following options:

• Sentence case: Only the first letter of each sentence is capitalized in sentence case.
• lowercase: Self-explanatory, but this option lowercases all of the letters.
• UPPERCASE: Also self-explanatory, but all the letters are uppercased.
• Capitalize Each Word: This style is also known as title case or First Letter and is the most common capitalization method for titles and headlines.
• tOGGLE cASE: This style will reverse the case of every letter in the selected text. For example, “tHIs IS PoORLy CAPitaLIZED” will change to “ThiS is pOorlY capITAlized”.

To actually capitalize words using these options, you just select the text you want the rules to apply to and then select case you want to convert to from the menu (or use the shortcut).
