MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006powerpoint should let format fonts all caps, like in word
I should be able to use all caps option to capitalize words when formatting the fonts in powerpoint, just like in Microsoft; it is too time-consuming otherwise. > I should be able to use all caps option to capitalize words when formatting > the fonts in powerpoint, just like in Microsoft; it is too time-consuming > otherwise. You can customize the change case command onto any convenient toolbar or use the free PPTools Starter Set (http://starterset.pptools.com) which includes a change case tool on a handy toolbar. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ > I should be able to use all caps option to capitalize words when formatting > the fonts in powerpoint, just like in Microsoft; it is too time-consuming > otherwise. You can type your text in a shape and format it all in caps by selecting the shape on the slide, using format, Change Case, and using the desired capitalization feature. If you want all caps in all text you might consider formatting the slide master. Once that has been set return to your slide and right click to get to slide layout. Choose the one you want and have it apply to your slide. Dont spend too much time playing with this as you'll find that setting the master to all caps doesnt carry over to slides! _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > > I should be able to use all caps option to capitalize words when formatting > > the fonts in powerpoint, just like in Microsoft; it is too time-consuming [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > return to your slide and right click to get to slide layout.

I learn more completely by being wrong. Thought I had missed a step there with the master setting. Thanks for the heads up. > I should be able to use all caps option to capitalize words when formatting > the fonts in powerpoint, just like in Microsoft; it is too time-consuming > otherwise. I may have gotten that feature from the tools that Steve mentioned in his post. I use those sort of things so often that I think they are native to Powerpoint. Those tools are set in concrete on my machines. > > I should be able to use all caps option to capitalize words when formatting > > the fonts in powerpoint, just like in Microsoft; it is too time-consuming [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > his post.

There's a Change Case feature built into PPT but it seemed clumsy to have to do Format Change Case Select the one you think you want (there's no preview button) Click OK Darn. That wasn't what I wanted. Format Change Case Try another one Click OK Ah. That's better. The PPTools one lets you go Click Nope Click Ah. That's better. You will be happy to know we can do this in PPT 2007. It's because PPT 2007 gives us the same kind of font effects as in Word (small caps, strikethrough, double underline, etc.) http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm So you can go to View|Slide Master, select the placeholder, and use the font dialog launcher to get to the Font Effects and apply it to the placeholder.
