Correcting capitalization

You can quickly change a word or selected text to all uppercase or lowercase letters, or to lowercase letters with initial caps.

Lowercase and initial capitals exceptions are as follows:

•

Words beginning with “I,” such as, “I’m,” “I’d,” “I’ve,” and the first word in each sentence, remain capitalized when you convert text to lowercase.

•

When you convert text to initial capitals, the first letter of each word is capitalized, except for articles, prepositions, conjunctions, and some pronouns. If you want to specify additional capitalization exceptions, you can edit the Wt15xx.icr file (where xx is a language code) in Program files\Corel\WordPerfect Office X5\Writing tools.

You can change capitalization after the end of a sentence. You can specify that, when you change capitalization after the end of a sentence, the entry is automatically added as an exception item. You can also remove exception items.
