Step 2: Click "File" in the upper left corner of the taskbar, and then select "Options".

Set automatic capital exception rules

In addition to the default autocorrect option, you can also customize exception rules. For example, Word usually capitalizes the initial letter after a period, but does not need capitalize for abbreviation (such as "eg"). You can set exceptions by following the steps below:

Step 1: Open a Microsoft Word document.

Step 2: Go to "File" > "Options" > "Proofreading" > "Auto Correction Options".

Step 3: Under the "Auto Correction" tab, click "Exception".

Step 4: Under the "First Letter" tab, enter the word suffix that does not require capitalization, and then click "Add" or press "Enter".

Step 5: To delete the exception rule, select and click "Delete".

Step 6: Click "OK" to apply the changes.

You can set exception rules for the Initial Caps and Other Corrections sections using the same method.

Use the Change Case feature

Word provides the "Case Change" function to facilitate modification of existing text.

Step 1: Open Word document and select the text to change the case.

Step 2: Under the "Start" tab, click "Change Case" (not found? Press "Alt Q" to search).

Step 3: Select the required case format:

• Sentence case: capitalize the first letter of the sentence and lowercase the rest of the letters.
• First letter capitalization: capitalize the first letter of each word.
• All Caps: Converts all selected text to uppercase.
• All lowercase: Converts all selected text to lowercase.
• Toggle case: Use uppercase and lowercase letters alternately in the selected text.

You can also use the shortcut key "Shift F3" to switch between "All Caps", "All Lower Caps" and "First Caps".
