MS Word Help

[Thagichu]

There's a report I have been working on for the last 6 weeks, and since I have been disappointed before, I saved it on my office365 online. All has been well till this morning when I decided to go through it one last time before presentation on Tuesday.

Shock on me, nimepata every word in the entire 260-page report has been capitalized! I know I could change all text to sentence case, but there are a million abbreviations and proper nouns.

How do I recover?

 

[Fala 12]

Just 'un do'

How do I recover?

First, select everything using Ctrl + A

Then press Shift + F3. Continue pressing until the case is the way you want it.

For more options, go to the Home Tab > Font Group > Change Case.

Its cycling between lowercase, uppercase, sentence and toggling. No option is working. The change to sentence case would work perfectly except for the abbreviations and proper nouns. Na ziko mingi.

Not helping either. Have undone mpaka the undo button ikakua inactive.

Methinks that you'll have to edit your abbreviations and proper nouns one by one. Word isn't designed yo recognize those they way you intended and treat them accordingly..

Kula madondo uongeze kilo...you uwache kukaa kama Shaggy wa Scooby doo

HOWEVER, for common/ repetitive abbreviations or nouns, why don't you edit one sample the way you want it, then use the 'Find and Replace' function in the Home tab to automatically edit the rest?
