I have a speech someone sent me, but it is entirely in upper case letters. Besides manually changing it, is there a way that Appleworks or NeoOffice can change all the upper case letters to all lower case letters?

Then it would at least be easier to make the needed corrections.

AppleWorks will do that, look in the edit menu.

"If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster."
"Near the day of Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky."
"A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky, which could burn the land and boil the oceans."

Pay no attention to the blow hard behind the curtain.

In NeoOffice, look under Format > Change Case > Lower Case.
In AppleWorks, it's found at Text > Style > UPPERCASE lowercase.

Doncha just love it when people do that?

Thanks for the info, BGnR.
I use MS Word at work for this, didn't know Appleworks could do it too. This will be handy at home where I don't have Word.

in word: Format >> Change Case -- just like neooffice

if it was a snake, it would have bit you

THANKS. ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE I NEEDED THE CLERK TO TAKE ME TO THE RIGHT AISLE : 0

That really makes the speech much more readable. Why someone would transcribe a speech entirely in upper case to start with is beyond me.

Thanks again,

Bryan

You think that's bad, I had a customer write her whole book in upper case. I figured, OK I can change the case in Indesign. But guess what? She didn't even save the file after she printed it out. All I had was hardcopy. Each page - scan in, OCR and then change case and then go through the whole book for items that needed to be capitalized.

THAT sucks.

Dennis,

Didn't save it! LOL.

Yeah, who writes a whole book (IN CAPS) and never saves it??

I hope you charged her by the hour.

Thank You Blooz.
I apologize for naming the wrong menu!
It is actually Text---->Style---->UPPERCASE/lowercase
I wasn't at my computer with AppleWorks on it.
But you are real smart and figured out where it was!
It seems there are some forum members that have severe socialization issues and blast their mouth at every opportunity!!

Cold the transcript have been prepared with a stenotype machine?

A good stenotype operator can accurately transcribe >180 words/minute, but the output may not contain UC/lc information.

...or a TelePrompter

Me too, but I have a good client, otherwise flawless, who has his secretary do all his speeches and personal writing like that.

All uppercase is about 10 times harder for me to read than all lowercase.
