To apply small caps in Microsoft Word, follow these steps:
- Select the text you want to convert to small caps.
- Right-click the selected text and choose "Font" from the menu.
- In the Font dialog box, go to the "Effects" section and check the box labeled "Small caps."
- Click "OK" to apply the effect.
Alternatively, you can select the text, go to the Home tab, click the small arrow in the Font group to open the Font dialog box, and then check "Small caps" under Effects. For Mac users, the keyboard shortcut to toggle small caps is Command + Shift + K, and for Windows users, you can try Ctrl + Shift + K as a shortcut (if configured). These steps apply to desktop versions of Word; the online version of Word does not support applying small caps directly but can display small caps applied in the desktop app.
Summary:
- Highlight text → Right-click → Font → Check Small caps → OK
- Or Home tab → Font dialog box → Check Small caps → OK
- Shortcut: Command + Shift + K (Mac), Ctrl + Shift + K (Windows desktop version)
- Not supported directly in Word Online but visible if set in desktop Word
