    Change Case

    You can change the case of selected text from upper to lowercase and back. You can also change the case to Sentence Case ( first word at the beginning of a sentence to uppercase case),  and/or to Title Case (first letter of each selected word to uppercase).

    To change text, highlight a selection.

    If no selection of text is made in the Edit window, capitalization of the word, to the right of the cursor is changed.

    1. Choose Edit > Change Case…. A dialog box appears. Choose the radio button for the case desired and click OK.
      changecase
    2. The dialog box disappears and the text you selected is changed.

    To toggle through all the choices, use Shift+F3. The selected Text will change to the next case. An additional Shift+F3 will toggle to the next and continue until the desired results. Note: There is a bug in Editor 5.3 that won’t change a letter that is next to a parenthesis.

      Excellent! Thanks for the tip!

      I found in Arbortext 5.4 that Shift-F3 is already mapped to toggle case and CONTROL-SHIFT-A toggles upper case specifically.
