- Sentence case will put a capital letter at the beginning of each sentence that you have highlighted and make all the rest lower case
- lowercase will make all the text lower case
- UPPERCASE will make all the text upper case
- Capitalize Each Word will put a capital letter at the start of each word
- tOGGLE cASE will change the case of every letter selected. Upper will become lower, lower will become upper.
Just open Word 2010 on your computer. Copy Paste the text there. Select all the text which you want to convert, now click the Home tab, as highlighted below, next click the Change Case, icon as highlighted below and select the lowercase.
Extra Tip: Try the keyboard shortcut - select the text you wish to modify then whilst holding down the Shift key tap the F3 key (tap it again to cycle through CAPITAL, lower case and Sentence case

if you are folks that love to use shortcut, use SHIFT+F3 to toggle all caps, title caps or lowercase

I selected Sentence Case. My letter did not switch from capital letters to small. The letters switched to a smaller case.

@Patricia Hill
Sentence case = makes capital letters for the beginning of sentences only and the rest lower case
lower case = makes all text lower case
UPPER CASE = makes all the text CAPITAL LETTERS
Capitalize Each Word = makes the First Letter Of Each Word A Capital Letter
tOGGLE cASE = swaps your CAPS to lower case and lower case to CAPS
Hope that helped. :)

Im on a Toshiba laptop. Shift+F3 opens the brightness settings and ALT+contr+A opens Add-ons options. Any other ideas?
November 06, 2016 9:25 AM
I tried doing this on my word document which is typed in capital but whenever I am trying shift F3 or sentence case it is changing the size of the font and not case
