Do you like this story?
It is annoying when you have text that is not punctuated correctly or is all UPPERCASE or all lowercase. Sometimes you are happily typing along and later realize you have the Caps Lock key pressed on. All your text is in Capital letters and you have typed too many words to redo it. However this is not a problem in Microsoft word 2007 because you can change the text from UPPERCASE to lowercase or vice versa. This feature is also available in Word 97-2003. This is a great tip to remember.
- Open Microsoft word 2007.
- Open a document in which there is text that you want to change from uppercase to lowercase.
- Select the text by making it blue.
- Make sure you are on the homepage tab.
- Go to the font section and press on the button that has an Aa on it. See the screenshot below.
- A menu will appear.
- If your text is uppercase then choose lowercase from the menu. However if you want the start of the sentences to have capital letters choose Sentence case from the menu.

What are the different types of case you can change your text to?
You can change the text you select to 5 different cases from the menu. Sentence case, lowercase, uppercase, capitalize each word, and toggle case. If you inspect the way each menu item is written, this shows what the text will look like after choosing that item. For example if you choose lowercase, as shown in the menu, all text will be lowercase. If you choose Sentence case, the start of the sentence will have a capital letter.
