How can I tell if the caps lock is on?

[Roger Vee]

How can I get a display on the screen to warn me when the caps lock is on?

 

[Graham Mayor]

I would have thought that typing appearing in caps. or the light on the
keyboard would have been sufficient? There is no function in Word to do
this, but there is an assortment of third party tools you might consider -
e.g. http://www.dkpcode.com/html/downloads.html#DKCapsLock-Status

Which version of Word? Word 2007 can show "Caps Lock" on the status
bar. Right-click the status bar and select Caps Lock.

Some keyboard software can also show a visual on your screen (such as
Logitech).

Why doesn't the caplock light on your keyboard tell you that?

 

[Cheryl Flanders]

Not all keyboards have a light for Caps Lock. My Logitech does not --
it shows a visual on the screen instead. The keyboard I had prior to
my Logitech didn't have a light or an on-screen visual.

I can't speak for Roger, but I can think of two reasons:

- I have a wireless keyboard that (to reduce the drain on its batteries) doesn't
have any caps lock, num lock, or scroll lock lights. There are lights on the
receiver pod, but that's tucked away out of sight.

- Some people (not including me) are good enough at touch typing that they don't
often look at the keyboard.

I don't touch type. I watch my hands. Always have, always will. If I need to
know if the cap lock is on I either type something or I look at the light.
