To change capitalization
The Change Case command lets you change the case setting of selected text. The Change Case command is different
than AllCapsformattinginthatitactuallychanges theunderlyingcharactersinstead of merely changing theformat
appearance.
If you’re using an OpenType font, you may want to take advantage of All Caps formatting to create more elegant type.
(See
“To apply all caps or small caps to text” on page 213.)
1 Select text.
2 Choose one of the following in the Type > Change Case submenu:
• To change all characters to lowercase, choose Lowercase.
• To capitalize the first letter of each word, choose Title Case.
• To change all characters to uppercase, choose Uppercase.
• To capitalize the first letter of each sentence, choose Sentence Case.
Note: The Sentence Case command assumes that the period (.), exclamation point (!), and question mark (?) characters
mark the ends of sentences. Applying Sentence Case may cause unexpected case changes when these characters are used
in other ways, as in abbreviations, file names, or Internet URLs. In addition, proper names may become lowercase when
they should be uppercase.
Formatting paragraphs
About the Paragraph palette
Use the Paragraph palette for attributes that apply to an entire paragraph. To view a description of each Paragraph
palette option, hold the mouse pointer over an icon until the tool tip appears.
To apply any kind of paragraph formatting, you don’t need to select an entire paragraph—you can select any word or
character, or just place the insertion point in the paragraph.
To format paragraphs using keyboard shortcuts, see “Keys for working with text” on page 284.
