Many of us, typing text in a Word, do not think about the subsequent formatting. What if you suddenly need to convert lowercase letters to uppercase or vice versa for a whole paragraph? Well, do not type this text again. I want to suggest an easy way to make all letters capitalized or small in Word.
To change the case of letters in Word document select the text you want to change. Next go to the tab home if it is not active and press the button Register.
In this case, in the drop-down menu, select the desired type of changing the case of letters:
- As in sentences... The lowercase letter of the first word in the sentence will be capitalized.
- all lower case... Converts each letter in the text to lowercase.
- ALL CAPITAL... Converts each letter in the text to uppercase.
- Start With Uppercase... The first letter of each word will capitalize
- CHANGE REGISTER... Converts the first letter of each word to lowercase and capitalizes the remaining letters.
For example, if you forgot to turn off the key Caps lock and without looking typed a couple of sentences, then you get something like:
Highlight the text and select the first option As in sentences... The letters will be case-correct.
You can use the keyboard to convert uppercase letters to lowercase. To do this, select the text and press Alt + I to activate the tab home... Then press Alt + 7 and then select the option you want using the cursor keys Up and Way down or keys NS(As in sentences) E(all lower case), V(ALL CAPITAL), H(Start with uppercase), M(CHANGE REGISTER).
This is how easy it is to change the case of letters in Word and make the letters small or large.
By the way, the keyboard shortcut Shift + F3 allows you to select any register mode except the last one - CHANGE REGISTER if you press this combination several times in turn.

Microsoft Office - this is the most famous package office programs for editing and creating tables, presentations, text and other types of documents. Today we will focus on the Word application, with which almost everyone is familiar: children are taught to work with it in schools, colleges, universities. With the help of this program, abstracts and documents are prepared. However, few people are familiar with its extensive functionality. That is why today we want to tell you how to make large letters in Word small. In general, there is nothing complicated here - everything is solved literally in a few clicks, but if you are faced with this problem for the first time, finding a magic button that will make all capital letters lowercase can take a long time.
How to lowercase uppercase letters in Word
Not all people can print blindly, looking not at the keyboard, but at the screen of their laptop or computer - this is where these kinds of problems come from. It is enough to press the Caps Lock key once and then type, peering at each key on the keyboard ... and when you notice that all the text is typed in capital letters, it will be too late to change something. In this regard, we have made this instruction for you. So, to make all letters in Word small, you must follow these steps:
As you can see, thanks to the really extensive functionality Microsoft programs Office Word, the problem of converting large letters to small letters is solved literally in a matter of seconds. That is why we advise all our users to study the functionality of this text editor... Believe me, it hides many more interesting, and most importantly useful surprises.
Remember that the "Aa" icon is responsible for the case of letters. By clicking on it, you can format the text as you like: small; large; letters as in sentences; capitalize each word, and reverse the case where small ones become large and large ones become small.
When entering text, you periodically have to change the case of letters. Use the Caps Lock key to switch between lowercase (small) and uppercase (uppercase, uppercase) letters. If the capitalization mode is on, then in the right upper corner on the keypad, the signal lamp of the same name lights up and uppercase characters are entered. Pressing the Caps Lock key switches to lowercase letter mode. The signal light goes out and lowercase letters are entered.
For temporary switching between cases, when you need, for example, to enter only one uppercase letter at the beginning of a sentence, you should use a different method. Temporary switching is carried out by simultaneously pressing the left or right Shift key and the key of the character being entered. If the keyboard is configured to work in uppercase letter mode, this method will temporarily switch to lowercase letter mode. Conversely, if the keyboard is configured for lowercase mode, it will temporarily switch to uppercase mode. Holding down the Shift key allows you to enter an arbitrary number of letters in a different case. However, to enter a large number of letters, it is better to use the constant toggle with the CapsLock key.
The need to make large letters small in Microsoft document Word most often occurs in cases when the user has forgotten about the CapsLock function and wrote some part of the text that way. Also, it is quite possible that you just need to remove the uppercase letters so that the entire text (or a portion of it) is written in lowercase only. In both cases, large letters are a problem (task) that needs to be solved, and further we will tell you how to do this.
Obviously, if you already have a large piece of text typed in large letters or there are just a lot of capital letters that you do not need, deleting all the text and typing it again or replacing uppercase letters with lowercase letters manually, one by one, is impractical. There are only two options for solving this simple task in Microsoft Word and one more alternative, and we will consider each of them further.
Method 1: "Register"
Since large and small letters are essentially the same characters, simply written in different case, to replace the first with the second, we turn to the text editor tool of the same name located in the group "Font", directly in "Main" tab.
Method 2: Hotkeys
Most of the basic and commonly used word processing tools from Microsoft, in addition to their buttons on the control panel, have keyboard shortcuts. With their help, we can make big letters small even faster.
Optional: Changing uppercase to small uppercase
In addition to directly changing the case from lowercase to uppercase and vice versa, Microsoft Word allows you to literally do what is indicated in the title of this article - to turn large letters into small letters, or rather, ordinary capital letters into small capital letters, thus obtaining a type of style, which is called capitol. The resulting characters will be slightly larger than lowercase (but smaller than uppercase) in size, and their appearance will remain exactly the same as the letters of the given register.
