How To Change Case In Google Docs

When writing, I find the need to change the case of words or groups of words. This can be done one at a time but I have been used to being able to select a drop-down list in Word.

word-dropdown

I would select the words and on the Home tab, in the Font group, and pull down the change case drop-down list. I was looking for a way to do it in Google Docs as this is my word processing program of choice now.

Using Google Docs

format-capitalization

In your document, select the words you want to change. 

From the Format tab, choose Text > Capitalization and then choose one of three options: lower case, UPPER CASE, or Title Case.

Using An Add-on

This works great but there is an Add-on that gives you more options. 

get-add-ons

Select Add-ons > Get add-ons

choose-change-case

In the search box, type Change Case, then open the Change Case add-on to add it to your Google Docs Add-ons list.

change-case

Select the words you want to change. From the Add-ons tab, click Change Case and then choose one of six options.

Summary

Although there is a way to change the case in Google Docs from lower to upper to title case, there is no way to perform other case changes. I hope this add-on will prove as useful to you as it has for me. Another tool for the toolbox.
