Converting existing ALLCAPS to lower-case.

[Guest]

This may be pretty basic, but many of my old word docs were typed in all
CAPS. Is there a font I could apply to change it to lower case ? Or some
other trick ?

Thanks,

Steve

Select the text, then Format; Fonts
There are several choices there, including Sentence Case which is probably
what you want.

CTRL-A will select the whole document.

I forgot to mention I have Word 2000, and I don't have Sentence Case, nor do
any of the others change them to lower case.

If you're looking at Format | Font (as advised by "Poprivet"), then you
won't find anything but All Caps. If the text has had All Caps formatting
aplied, then removing it will restore/reveal the underlying case. But if it
has been typed with CapsLock on, you'll need Format | Change Case, which I
think you will find has the options you need.

Thanks all. Format change case to sentence case did the trick.

Thanks again,
