Change Case default

[Rich Sagall]

I am runing Office 2004 on a Mac. I am looking for a way to chagne the
default setting of the Change Case commant. It is set to UPPERCASE and I
want to change it to Title Case. Is this possible?

Thanks

In Word, I presume?

I can't change the default, but if you just type 'l' (for lowercase) when
the dialog opens, the lowercase radio button will highlight. Same for
(S)entence Case, (U)pper Case, (T)itle case, but, unfortunately, not
(T)oggle Case.

Hi Rich-

I can't tell you how to change it either because contrary to the impression
given by the feature, UPPER CASE is not really the default. It appears to
be context sensitive based on the currently selected text.

If you select a string with _no_ UC characters the preset when you go into
the dialog box is Title Case... Unless there is end punctuation selected as
well, in which case the preset is Sentence case. If , as is usually the
case, there is at least one UC character anywhere in the selected string the
preset will be UC regardless of end punctuation.

"g" works for tO(G)GLE cASE. You can also set a keyboard shortcut for the
Change Case dialog itself via Tools/Customize/Keyboard and
Format/FormatChangeCase.

Ah, thanks for that

Alternatively, you could always assign a macro like this to a button or
keyboard shortcut:

Public Sub SelectionToTitleCase()
Selection.Range.Case = wdTitleWord
End Sub
