Change the case of text in word--but not in excel.Q. Is there some fast and easy way to change the case of text in Word and Excel A full-featured spreadsheet for Windows and the Macintosh from Microsoft. It can link many spreadsheets for consolidation and provides a wide variety of business graphics and charts for creating presentation materials. ? A. You can in Word, but although many users desperately wish they could do it in Excel, I'm sorry to say, they can't yet. I've seen some very complex macros written that are supposed to be effective, but none that I've tried works very well. In Word, case changing is a snap.
