Do you find it lengthy, in word, to change a text from upper-case to lower-case and Vice-versa ?
Tip: select relevant text and press shift f3. Each time you press Shift F3, the selected text’s case cycles from lower- case to title-case to upper-case. A lesser-known but useful case-toggling keyboard shortcut is the Ctrl Shift A shortcut. When you select text that contains both upper-case and lower-case characters and then press Ctrl Shift A, Word toggles the case of the lower-case characters to upper-case. For example, if you select the text “The quick Brown fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog” and press Ctrl Shift A, the text becomes “THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG”. If you press Ctrl Shift A again, the text returns to its initial state. The Ctrl Shift A shortcut works just like the Caps Lock key. If you don’t select any text before pressing Ctrl Shift A and then begin typing, your text will all be upper-case. To turn the feature off, press Ctrl Shift A again.
