SYMPTOMSThe Change Case command may not change the selection to Sentence case or Title Case in the following conditions. Case 1The Change Case command (SHIFT+F3) does not change to Title Case when any of the following conditions are true.

-or- CAUSE
The Change Case command does not change a complete sentence to Title Case.
Similarly, the Change Case command assumes that a non-sentence selection is
never formatted for Sentence case. The command determines whether the
selection is a sentence by checking for end-of-sentence punctuation. This
feature is by design of the (SHIFT+F3) for the Change Case command.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been corrected in Microsoft Word 97 for Windows and Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition. MORE INFORMATIONThe Change Case command changes selected characters to all uppercase letters, all lowercase letters, or a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters. The Change Case command affects character capitalization but not character formatting, such as Small Caps or All Caps. For example, if you apply title case to text that already has Small Caps format, the first letter of each word becomes an uppercase letter while the rest of the characters retain the Small Caps format.
NOTE: You cannot use SHIFT+F3 to change the case of your selected text to
tOGGLE cASE. You must click Change Case on the Format menu, click to select
tOGGLE cASE, and then click OK.
In Word 6.0 and later, the Change Case command differs from that of earlier versions of Word, in which Word switches from uppercase to lowercase to title case when you press SHIFT+F3, regardless of the context. Additional query words:
