Syntax
ChangeCase [Type]
ChangeCase()
Remarks
The ChangeCase statement sets the case of the selected text to sentence case, lowercase, uppercase, or initial capital letters. ChangeCase does not change the character formats associated with the selected text, as do the SmallCaps and AllCaps statements. ChangeCase corresponds to the Change Case command (Format menu).
Argument | Explanation | |
Type | Specifies the change in case: Omitted If the selection is one sentence or less, alternates the case of the selection among all lowercase, all uppercase, and initial capital letters.

If there is no selection, Word selects the word nearest the insertion point, and then changes the case of the selected word.
The ChangeCase() function returns the following values.
Value | Explanation | |
0 (zero) | If none of the selected text is in uppercase | |
1 | If all of the selected text is in uppercase | |
2 | If the text is in a mixture of uppercase and lowercase | |
