How do I convert lower case text to uppercase text in Microsoft Word?

When you've had caps lock on by mistake, highlight the words you typed and press Shift+F3. Pressing Shift+F3 repeatedly swaps between upper case, title case and lower case.

eg. if you type:

tHIS IS A TEST.

... then select all the text and press Shift+F3:

This IS A TEST.

... then press Shift+F3 again:

THIS IS A TEST.

... and Shift+F3 again:

this is a test.

... and Shift+F3 one last time:

This is a test.

It's interesting that the behaviour is a little different if there is no full stop (period character) in the selected text. Shift+F3 then capitalizes every word when switching to title case:

This Is A Test

Hope this helps.

In Microsoft Office 2007 you can use the Change Case button on the Home tab.

If that is not what you are looking for you will need to add more details to your question.
