Tip of the week

J.C. of Colorado read my Crabby’s Font Facts 104: Your questions column with great interest, and offered me of one heckuva great tip on how to quickly change the case of a letter or an entire word.

First, place your cursor on or at the beginning of the word whose case you want to change. Then, hold down the Shift key and press F3.

• To capitalize the first letter, press F3 once.
• To capitalize the entire word, press F3 twice.
• To make the entire word lower case, press F3 three times.

This is something I’d never heard of and I love it. This is a tip I know we’ll all use a lot. Thanks, J.C. Say “hey” to the Rockies (the mountains, not the team) for me.
