Question Is There A Way To Do This??? (Must Be!!!)

You know how it is; most of us not being touch typists. .....You are typing away, ten to the dozen, eyes fixed to the keyboard, when suddenly you look up and (dismay) the last three sentences are all in capitals. .....Or vice versa.

Rather than delete and start all over again, is there any way of highlighting and reversing to the upper or lower case, as required? .....Some clever Ctrl+ combination, or whatever. .....Would certainly save a lot of time/grief.

Thanks in anticipation.....

.....BST.

Depends on the software.

Word has a case conversion function in it.

If you don't have word it wouldn't be hard to knock something together to do this.

williamsg.....

Thanks. .....All time record for a reply!

Where exactly do I find that in Word? .....Had a quick look in 'Search' there, to no avail.

Was rather hoping there would be some keyboard shortcut for this to cover everything; Word, AOL e-mail, etc.....

A perennial problem. Try Control Panel/Acessibility Options/Keyboard/Togglekeys

At least it'll make a beep when you toggle Capslock

Or you can try FirstCap from http://www.falsinsoft.cjb.net - more sophisticated and cleverer. Otherwise Goggle for FirstCap 'cos it may have moved.
