Change the case of alphabetic characters
Choose commands from the Transform Text submenu to change the case of text in a selection.
Make all selected characters UPPERCASE

☞ This changes the actual characters in your document, exchanging every lowercase character with its corresponding UPPERCASE ASCII (Unicode) equivalent.

CHANGE SCREAMING TEXT TO pleasant conversation WITH ONE COMMAND.
► Choose the menu command: Edit > Transform Text > To Capitalized.
This makes the first letter of every selected word UPPERCASE.
☞ To Capitalized treats hyphenated compound words such as “easy-to-find” as though they were each separate words resulting in “Easy-To-Find”. Similarly, it treats words separated by a slash as two or more changing “find/replace” into “Find/Replace” . If a word has uppercase characters inside it, To Capitalized makes those lowercase as it capitalizes the word (“lowerCase” becomes “Lowercase”).
