How to Change the Character Case in Word 2007
When typing in a document using Word 2007, there are upper case and lower case letters. The first letter in a sentence, for example, is an upper case letter. This could also be referred to as a word that is capitalized. An upper case letter is a capital letter. While it may not be too time-consuming to be editing a document and change the case of a letter by simply deleting it and retyping the letter in the changed case, pressing "Shift" makes a letter an upper case letter, this could be time consuming if there are many words that need the case of all of the letters changed. For users of Word 2007, there is an easy way to perform this function.

Tips & Warnings
You can also use a keyboard shortcut to change the case of letters. After selecting the text, press "Shift" and "F3" at the same time. This keyboard shortcut toggles the selection between all upper case letters, the first letter of each word capitalized and all of the letters lower case.
In emails, text messages and other documents the use of words that have all of their letters capitalized can be construed by the reader as the author shouting the words.
