Occasionally capital letters seem to get stuck on. How can I unlock them?
 
Hi :)

Select the text that's bothering you | Format | Change Case

Sometimes, if a phrase is formatted as UPPERCASE, and you try to delete a
letter within the phraswe and replace it with a lower case, it won't let you
because the text in that phrase has been set to allow only uppercase values.

Cheers!

Pamela :)
 
Do you have Caps Lock on?

The keyboard shortcut to put things in uppercase is Shift/F3. It actually
toggles between Upper, lower and title case. I know that sometimes users hit
this key combination by accident and don't realize it. If you hit Shift/F3
again, it will get you out of uppercase.
 
The Shift+F3 shortcut has no effect on typing; it is used only to change the
case of selected text. Only the CapsLock key or Ctrl+Shift+A (All Caps) will
produce all caps formatting.

Perhaps you've pressed the Caps Lock key or Ctrl+Shift+A, which applies the
All Caps property?

I am having a similar issue. Occasionally, my laptop types as though it has
the shift key depressed. However, the shift key is not stuck. Also, the
Stickey Keys function is not turned on. Any ideas?
 
If the caps lock button is not set, you are using an all caps font or have
an all caps font attribute set.
