HOW DO I FIX A PAGE I TYPED ALL IN UPPER CASE BY MISTAKE!!!

If you realize you"ve been TYPING ALL IN CAPS FOR A FEW SENTENCES by accident, in an email or Word document, we have a quick fix for you so you don’t need to manually type in the text all over again.

This works in Microsoft Outlook as well as Microsoft Word (versions 1997 and later).
If you realize you just typed a few sentences all in CAPS, highlight all the words you wanted fix (CTRL + A will highlight the entire page, if you like), and then press SHIFT+F3 and all the UPPERCASE text will switch to lowercase text. Do it again and it’ll change to Title case, if you prefer.

For example:

HI MOM, HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
(Shift-F3)

hi mom, how are you today?
(Shift-F3)

Hi mom, how are you today?

Whooee! Good tip, Mort. In MS Word, you can also select Format > Change Case. There, you can select "Sentence case" as well as UPPER, lower, Title and tOGGLE cASE.
