Changing casing in Word

-

Changing the casing in Word is super simple and easy. We can achieve this by two different methods. 


UPPERCASE

If you want to capitalize the whole word (WORD PROCESSING), you can hold down the SHIFT key as you type the word out. Trying to hold down SHIFT while typing can be a little difficult, but there is an easier way. You can simply press the CAPS LOCK key one time, and it will capitalize each word until you press the key again to turn it off. 

LOWER CASE

If you want to type words in lower case (word processing), you will make sure CAPS LOCK is turned off, and you will not hold down the SHIFT key as you type out the words.

TITLE CASE

Title case is known as the headline case. The first letter of a major word, such as a title, subtitle or heading is capitalized. To do this, you can turn CAPS LOCK on and type the first letter of the word (Word processing) and before you type the second letter, turn it off. You can also hold down the SHIFT key and type the first letter in the word then let go of the SHIFT key to continue typing the word.
