Changing text case

CorelDRAW lets you change the text case of artistic and paragraph text. For example, you can apply small caps to acronyms so they visually blend with the text. If you apply default capitalization, the text stands out too much and impacts the readability. In the following example, the acronym "A.M." is shown with both the default uppercase and small caps applied.

 

The class begins at 9:00
a.m.
in room 132.

You control the case of words, sentences, or paragraphs of selected text. For example, you can apply title case to selected text to capitalize the initial letter of every word. This is a useful formatting technique for headings, such as book or chapter titles.

You can automatically convert text to lowercase or uppercase without deleting or retyping letters. For example, if you accidentally pressed the Caps Lock key and added uppercase text, you can convert the text to lowercase without retyping it.

With uppercase text, you can adjust the spacing between capital characters to improve readability provided the font supports capital spacing.

If you choose a non-OpenType font that supports Caps styles, CorelDRAW provides a synthesized version of the Small caps and All small caps styles.

Some OpenType fonts may appear to support features that are unsupported.

You can also change text case by selecting a character or a block of text, clicking Text Change case, and enabling an option in the Change case dialog box.
