Getting titles to appear in ALL CAPS

[alflett]

My client wants her PowerPoint titles on each slide to appear in all
caps, Arial. I have set up the slide master to appear this way but no
matter what, it does not carry over to each slide. I type content and
it appears in upper and lower. I have spent over 2 hours researching
this and I can't find anything. Please help.

You can't force Upper/Lowercase formatting via the master or any other way.
The client will have to enter the text with the desired casing.

It's not that you're missing anything, it's just that PPT doesn't do this.

Even worse... If you format text in Word in "All Caps" PowerPoint ignores
the setting if you copy from Word and Paste into PowerPoint.

Hi Steve -

I realize that it doesn't have an effect if you use it in the Master, but
Format>Change Case has always worked for me on a 1-by-1 basis for
placeholders as well as selected text... Although I personally prefer to use
a titling font such as one of the flavors of Engravers, Copperplate,
Perpetua Titling, etc.

Or use a font that only has uppercase letters such as Bank Gothic.
Sometimes what our clients want cannot be done. Alas.

Using a titling font might be just the thing for a designer who's creating
templates for users (who can't be counted on to use the change case button).
Good one.

Change case does work nicely (other than Title Case Which Capitalizes Even
Words Like A And The And An ... but doesn't let you type InternalCapsLikeThis.)

But the ability to force upper/lower case et al is often requested. So I just
added the feature to one of our addins. Pity they only work on the Windows
version ...

All except the Unicade string constants work on the Mac. Maybe a macro
assigned to a button would be helpful
StrConv Constants
