How to Convert ALL CAPS to Small Letters (Convert Uppercase to Lowercase letters)

by Hemanth on April 2, 2009

There is a very simple way to convert an  ALL CAPITAL text string or paragraph to small letters / lowercase letters. It’s very handy for bloggers. Allright, all you need is MS Office and a keyboard!

1. Consider the following ALL CAPS text:

ANTIVIRUS, ANTISPYWARE,ANTIROOTKIT,ANTI-PHISHING, FIREWALL, ANTISPAM, PARENTAL CONTROL

2. Copy paste this in to MS Word and select the full string. Now tap the key combination Shift + F3. Bingo! your ALL CAPS text is converted into small letters. The text should look like this:

antivirus, antispyware, antirootkit, anti-phishing, firewall, antispam, parental control

3. Now if you wish to use it as a Title with the first letters of all the Words to be Capitals then you can do it as well. Just tap the Shift + F3 key combination again. The text will now look like this:

Antivirus, Antispyware, Antirootkit, Anti-Phishing, Firewall, Antispam, Parental Control

Copy paste it into Notepad and copy from there for using it in your blog. This will help to avoid copying any Richtext text decorations from word.

Bonus Tip

There is an online service available to convert any text strings to all capitals (uppercase) or small letters (lowercase). Check it out here.
