All Caps Headaches

Know what I hate? E-mails that come in all caps. THEY DRIVE ME NUTS :-)

Anyhow, I had someone asked me how they could re-format an all caps sentence so it was in regular, lowercase format. Well, if you have WordPerfect or MS Word, you're in luck. Here's how to do it in each:

MS Word:

1. Highlight the text you want to have de-capitalized.

2. Click the Format menu, Change Case...

3. A little screen will pop up that lets you select what case you want. Sentence Case is probably appropriate.

Here's an MS Word Example:

Before:

After:

WordPerfect:

1. Highlight the text you want to have de-capitalized.

2. Click the Edit menu, Convert Case.

3. A sub menu will give you some case changing options. You'll probably want "lowercase".

That's it. Now, if we could just get that stupid CAPS LOCK key off the keyboard...
