Change Caps to lower case in word on Mac

[Floydie]

Can anyone tell me how to change a sentence in caps to lower case without retyping the whole thing... i have tried a few things on an earlier thread i read here however none worked and i wonder if this is because i am using word for mac.

You could copy and paste it into Excel and use the lower() function.

Assuming Excel for Mac has a lower() function.

There is a button for that under the fonts ribbon with "Aa" on it. Click and you will get all the options for upping and lowering.

I have tried the "Aa" button but it only works if you have typed in lower case and want to convert to Caps... not the other way round and i find what usually happens is i type away forgetting the caps lock is on then have to re-type...
Thanks anyway.

If Mac does have a lower() function... I'm not familiar with it but will check it out. thanks.

In MS Word, there is a Change Case menu command.

Hmmm shift + F3 just splits the window into whatever else is opened in the background...

MS Word for Windows, at any rate, does cycle through the various options for the Change Case menu command. Change Case is a command that is available in Word for Mac:

but I'm not a Mac user, so no idea where to find the command.
