Shift + F3 to change cap mode

Post by jmt356 »

On my former computer, I used to highlight a sentence and press shift + F3 to toggle between all lowercase, all capitalized, first letter capitalized, and title case (first letter of each word capitalized). On this computer, also running Word 2003 but on a Windows 7 system, title case is skipped. On the fourth shift + F3, my phrase goes back to all lowercase. Is there another way to achieve title case?

I don't think the OS should matter. I noticed that Word 2003 behaves differently if there is a period in the selection than if there is not. If there is a period, rather than capping each word, it only caps the first word of what it perceives to be the "sentence." (So the workaround for Title Case is to not include the trailing period in the selection.)
