Wait What… You Can Change Uppercase in Google Docs

Is there anything better than knowing something your sister doesn’t know? Ha, just kidding. My sister is an attorney and I was at her office the other day. Since I was sitting at her desk she was making me do some tasks for her. I had pasted something but the text was all upper case and it needed to be lowercase. She was lamenting that we would have to type it all manually. You can change uppercase in Google Docs™. Wait, what?! You can do that!!! YES!!!

Google Docs Magically Will Change Your Uppercase

Highlight the Text

Highlight the pre-existing text that you want to switch to uppercase. 

Format Menu

Use the Format menu to format your text into a a different case. The first option in the Format menu is “Text.” Select this to make changes to the highlighted text.

Capitalization to Change Uppercase in Google Docs

Use the option for “Capitalization” under the “Text” menu. This will allow you to magically change your highlighted text into all “lowercase” or “UPPERCASE” or if you prefer “Title Case” which is sometimes called Camel Case. Notice I put my headings and title in this blog post in the “Title Case,” each initial letter of a word is capitalized.
