How do I write the first letters of a word in capitals and the rest of the word in lower case?
Changing existing text
- select the text you want to modify;
- select the menu
- Sentence case: all the text is in lower case except the first letter after each period;
- lowercase: all the text is changed to lower case;
- UPPERCASE : all the text is changed to upper case;
- Capitalize Every Word: each word begins with a capital and the rest of the word is in lower case; and
- tOGGLE cASE : capitals are replaced by lower case and lower case by capitals.
▸ and the option you want:
However, if you modify the text, the case will remain identical to what you have entered.
Changing the case automatically
Follow these steps:
- select the text you want to modify;
- go to ▸ menu;
- click the Font Effects tab;
- in the Effects dropdown menu, click the Capitalize Every Word option; and
- click OK.
This method also works for a line in a table or a column.
Even more efficient
Change the relevant styles by an automatic formatting. Any new text will then be formatted according to the chosen case.
