Sometimes, when I am re-doing a text, I want to change the characters
from lower case to upper case or vice-versa. I have looked at
Notepad, Wordpad, and Open Office and can find no way to do that
except by re-typing the individual letters themselves, which takes a
lot of time. Is there a way?

Thanks

And in Word 2003 select text, go to Format-Font and check the "All Caps"
box.

You *DID* look at the "Help" functions in these applications, didn't you?
 
you can change them from lowercase to uppercase in word, by highlighting the
text you want to change and then click on format,font and then look at the
effects box, small caps or large caps, but i dont know how to go in reverse,
pete ;-)
 
For Microsoft Word:

Select the text that you want to change. On the Format menu, click Change
Case.

Gee Pete, here's another example of your advice that's simply close. Small
Caps and Large Caps have NOTHING to do with lowercase or uppercase. The
thing you check is ALL CAPS. Of course in your case, close is an
improvement.

I see you changed your name so people searching for your posts cannot find
them to address your lack of any real knowledge. You also added to your
signature "Please take my answers anyway you like, i am no expert but i do
like to try and help anyone i can." And as usual the quality of your advice
once again proved that "i am no expert" part of your post is the only really
sound advice you've given.
