Go to Home > Change case .
Do one of the following:
- To capitalize the first letter of a sentence and leave all other letters as lowercase, click Sentence case.
- To exclude capital letters from your text, click lowercase.

- To capitalize the first letter of each word and leave the other letters lowercase, click Capitalize Each Word.

  Small Caps shortcut key: ⌘ + SHIFT + K
- To undo the case change, press ⌘ + Z .
- To use a keyboard shortcut to change between lowercase, UPPERCASE, and Capitalize Each Word, select the text and then press fn+ SHIFT + F3 until the style you want is applied.

Selecting a case

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.
Hold down Shift and press F3.
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.

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

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.

In Microsoft Office 2007 you can use the Change Case button on the Home tab.

If that is not what you are looking for you will need to add more details to your question.

When you’ve had caps lock on by mistake, highlight the words you typed and press Shift+F3. Pressing Shift+F3 repeatedly swaps between upper case, title case and lower case.

eg. if you type:

tHIS IS A TEST.

… then select all the text and press Shift+F3:

This IS A TEST.

… then press Shift+F3 again:

THIS IS A TEST.

… and Shift+F3 again:

this is a test.

… and Shift+F3 one last time:

This is a test.

It’s interesting that the behaviour is a little different if there is no full stop (period character) in the selected text. Shift+F3 then capitalizes every word when switching to title case:

This Is A Test

Hope this helps.

Shift+F3 does not work for some strings, like

95ad861b134e39cbd7ecd6c9070a58f4

If you highlight that then hit Shift+F3, nothing happens. You have to either use the Change Case button as shown above or add an extra word, like

95ad861b134e39cbd7ecd6c9070a58f4 test

Then Shift+F3 will cycle through the capitalization options.

If you have a few minutes, write «3D» into Word, highlight it, then hit Shift+F3 a few times. Why do you think this feature was implemented in this manner?

3 Ways to Change or Convert Case in Microsoft Word Documents (with Shortcuts)

by Avantix Learning Team | Updated August 1, 2022

Applies to: Microsoft^® Word^® 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021 or 365 (Windows)

You can change case in Microsoft Word documents by changing character formatting or by converting case. If you want to be able to easily change case (like removing All Caps), it’s best to change case by applying formatting such as All Caps or Small Caps. Alternatively, you use the Change Case command to convert case. This command offers a series of options including upper, lower, capitalize each word and sentence case. You can also use a keyboard shortcut to move through different case options.

Change Case using the Font dialog box (apply or remove All Caps or Small Caps)

To apply All Caps or Small Caps to text as a format using the Font dialog box:

Select the text.
Click the Home tab in the Ribbon.
Click the dialog box launcher on the bottom right of the Font group. Alternatively, press Ctrl + D. The Font dialog box appears.
Select All Caps or Small Caps.
Click OK.

The Font dialog box appears as follows:

This is usually the best way to apply All Caps since it’s a format and can be removed using the Font dialog box. You can also build this format into styles.

Change case using the Change Case command in the Ribbon

If text has been formatted with hard capitals where the user has pressed the Caps Lock key when typing text, you can remove or change the capitalization using the Change Case command. You can convert a selection typed in upper case to title case, lower case or even sentence case.

To change case using the Change Case command in the Ribbon:

Select the text.
Click the Home tab in the Ribbon.
Click Change Case in the Font group (Aa). A drop-down menu appears.
Select the desired case.

The Change Case drop-down menu appears as follows:

The following options appear in the Change Case drop-down menu:

Sentence case – capitalizes the first letter of a sentence. If there are multiple sentences, Word will capitalize the next word after a period.
Lowercase – removes all capitalization.
UPPERCASE – capitalizes all letters in the selection.
Capitalize Each Word – capitalizes each word in the selection (often called title case).
tOGGLE cASE – shifts between two cases. For example, if the first letter of each word in the selection was capitalized, this command would switch to the opposite formatting with the first letter of each word as lower case and the other letters in upper case.

Change case using keyboard shortcuts

You can use keyboard shortcuts to move between several of the options in the Change Case drop-down menu:

Select the text.
Press Shift + F3. Keep pressing Shift + F3 to move between UPPERCASE, lowercase and Capitalize Each Word.

Some users may need to press the Fn key as well to activate the F3 key.

Знакома ли вам ситуация, когда вы набираете текст в документе, а затем смотрите на экран и понимаете, что забыли отключить CapsLock? Все буквы в тексте получаются заглавными (большими), их приходится удалять, а затем заново набирать.

О том, как решить эту проблему, мы уже писали. Однако, иногда возникает необходимость выполнить кардинально противоположное действие в Ворде — сделать все буквы большими. Именно об этом мы и расскажем ниже.
