| STUCK IN CAPS LOCK How many times have you done this? |
| HOW OFTEN HAVE YOU TYPED A SENTENCE AND WHEN YOU LOOKED UP, IT WAS ALL IN CAPS? In Microsoft Word you can change it quickly without retyping it. (By the way, did you know that large amounts of text typed in all caps is harder to read? Our eyes and brain are accustomed to reading text in upper and lower case and it slows our comprehension WHEN IT'S ALL TYPED IN CAPS.) Here's a little trick for converting that text. Type a sentence in all caps in Microsoft Word. Then highlight the entire sentence. (To highlight the text, left click at the beginning of the text, hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse across the entire sentence.) Once the text is highlighted, hold down the Shift key and press the F3 key (on the top row of keys on your keyboard). The text will instantly be converted to lower case. Hold down the shift key again and press F3 key and the text becomes Title Case (the first letter of every word is capitalized). Hold down the Shift key and press F3 once more and it returns to ALL CAP. That's one of the little tricks I've learned from using Microsoft Word since Version 1. Can you imagine, Word didn't even have spell checker then? At that time, (ca. late '80s) a word processing program was a huge improvement from an IBM Selectric!
