How do I change a caps lock document into noncaps?

[Guest]

I am putting together article submitted for a small newsletter and one was
submitted in all caps. Instead of retyping the article, is there a way to
reformat the article to be in regular text?

Format | Change Case. Use "Sentence case," but you'll still have to go
through and cap proper nouns and adjectives.

This macro worked for me on the "quick brown fox" sentence (all in capitals):
Sub change()
For i = 65 To 90
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = Chr(i)
.Replacement.Text = Chr(i + 32)
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.MatchWildcards = True
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
Next i
End Sub
You will now have everything in lower case, but there should be an easy way
to do the necessary adjustment.

Ctrl+A, Format | Change Case doesn't work for you?
