You may already know about the toolbar shortcut to change your text from capitals (uppercase) and back again, but did you know that there’s an even quicker way? We’ll show you this nifty keyboard shortcut.
Need to switch between uppercase (capitals), lowercase, or sentence case? Microsoft Word makes it easy with a simple keyboard shortcut.
- Windows: Highlight your text and press Shift + F3.
- Mac: Highlight your text and press fn + Shift + F3.
Each press cycles through three options:
- Sentence case – only the first letter of the first word is capitalized.
- ALL CAPS – every letter is uppercase.
- lowercase – every letter is lowercase.
Windows Tip: You can also press Ctrl + Shift + A to toggle between all capitals and lowercase quickly.
Made a mistake? Undo instantly with Ctrl + Z (Windows) or Cmd + Z (Mac).
This shortcut is perfect for cleaning up text formatting without retyping anything.
