by the way, it was right in front of my face, what i did, select the type go to Type/ change case, then you have 4 options.

* * *

\*\*Uppercase \*\*- Converts all type to uppercase

**l\*\*\*\*owercase** - Converts all type to lowercase

**Title case** - Converts all sentences to lowercase,first letter of each word becomes capital.

**Sentence case** - same as title but only the first letter of the first word of the sentence becomes Capital

* * *

I actually wanted Sentence case which just saved me hours of editing :beam:

You could have cut and paste, if possible, into Word too 😉
