Question

Different between toggle case and sentence

Answer 1

You can change the case of letters within a selection by using the Aa button in the Font group. The “what” part is pretty straightforward:

Sentence case will capitalize the first word;lowercase will change all letters in the selection to lowercase;Upper case changes all letters to uppercase;Capitalize Each Words makes each new word within the selection start with an uppercase letter; and TOGGLE cASE reverses the case of each letter within the selection.

Pressing the shortcut key Shift-F3 lets you toggle between the first 3 options; you’ll need to use the button to get at the latter two..

Note “in the selection”. If there are no characters selected, the toggle will only affect the next character.

Why would you use this? Say your document overused uppercase — for subheadings for example. Rather than retype each one, just select an all-caps subhead and press Shift-F3 twice. The 1st would change all caps to lowercase; the 2nd would make just the 1st character uppercase.

But the toggle case option? Have you ever suddenly realized that you have been typing with caps lock turned on? i HATE THE cAPS lOCK KEY! Just stay calm, press the caps lock key to turn it off, select the text and click Aa to choose tOGGLE cASE. Problem solved. (Nice... but I still hate the Caps Lock key!)
