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 captitalization, 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.

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.
| To change the text case | |
1. |
Using the Text tool
 , select a character or a block of text.
|
If the Object properties docker is not open, click Window  Dockers Object properties. |
2. |
In the Object properties docker, click the Character button
 to display the
character-related options.
|
3. |
In the Character area of the Object properties docker, click the Caps button, and
click one of the following options:
|
• |
None — turns off all of the features in the list
|
• |
All caps — substitutes lowercase characters with upper case equivalents
|
• |
Titling caps — applies the OpenType version of the feature if the font supports
it
|
• |
Small caps (auto) — applies the OpenType version of the feature if the font
supports it
|
• |
All small caps — substitutes characters with a scaled-down version of the upper
case characters
|
• |
Small caps from caps — applies the OpenType version of the feature if the font
supports it
|
• |
Small caps (synthesized) — applies a synthesized version of Small caps, which
appears the same as in previous versions of CorelDRAW
|
 |
If you choose a non-OpenType 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.
