All Caps to Lower Case

Tell a  Friend

Know what I hate? E-mails that come in all caps. THEY DRIVE ME NUTS!

People often ask us how they could re-format an all-caps sentence so it was in regular, lowercase format. If you have Microsoft Word or WordPerfect, you're in luck. Here's how to do it in each:

Microsoft Word:

2. Click the Format menu, Change Case...
