Changing the case of type

To apply all caps or small caps to text

InCopy can automatically change the case of selected text. When you format text as small caps, InCopy automatically

uses the small-cap characters designed as part of the font, if available. Otherwise, InCopy synthesizes the small caps

using scaled-down versions of the regular capital letters. The size of synthesized small caps is set in the Text Prefer-

ences dialog box.

Before (top) and after (bottom) setting “BC” and “AD” in small caps to complement old-style numerals and surrounding text

If youselectAll Caps or SmallCapsinanOpenTypefont, InCopy createsmoreelegant type.For example, when All

Caps is selected, InCopy shifts certain punctuation marks and makes other typographic improvements. In addition,

you may want to apply the All Small Caps attribute.

1 Using the Type tool , select the text you want to change.

2 Choose All Caps or Small Caps in the Character palette menu. If the text was originally typed in all caps, selecting

Small Caps does not change the text.

Note: Applying Small Caps or All Caps to text does not change the case, only the appearance. For example, if you type

“spiders” in your document and then apply All Caps, using Find/Change (with Case Sensitive selected) to search for

“SPIDERS” will not find the instance of “spiders” to which All Caps was applied.
