To change small letters to capital letters in Microsoft Word, follow these steps:
- Select the text you want to change.
- Go to the "Home" tab on the Ribbon.
- Click on the "Change Case" button, which has an "Aa" icon, in the Font group.
- From the dropdown menu, choose one of these options depending on what you need:
- UPPERCASE to convert all letters to capital letters.
- Capitalize Each Word to capitalize the first letter of each word.
- Sentence case to capitalize only the first letter of each sentence.
Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut:
- Select the text.
- Press Shift + F3 to toggle through lowercase, UPPERCASE, and Capitalize Each Word until the desired case is applied.
If you want to apply Small Caps (where lowercase letters appear as smaller uppercase letters):
- Select the text.
- Go to the Font dialog box by clicking the arrow in the bottom-right corner of the Font group on the Home tab.
- Under Effects, check the "Small Caps" box and click OK.
- Or use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + K to toggle Small Caps on the selected text.
To undo any case change, press Ctrl + Z. These instructions work in recent versions of Microsoft Word on Windows and Mac systems.
