There is an Advanced Find in Word that may be useful.

Thanks for the clarification, Judy! I know when you strip small cap styling it
makes it lower case, so I always added it back. Sounds like the Bookshare tool
functions like Office.

Hi Valerie,
If it's in small caps it needs to be made all caps. The Bookshare conversion
software converts small caps to lower case for who knows what reason. I've run
into this many times on books I've proofread.

I never thought about it, Judy, but does that include “small caps?” I know
words mixed should be one or the other. I used to get a lot of old books where
the first line of a new paragraph was small caps and I left them as caps.
Thanks!

If the original printed book has them in all caps leave them in all caps. It's
just like italics. If a word is in italics in the printed book, you leave it in
italics.

Susan has proofed a book that had many words in all caps. Are we to change
these? If so, how can I find instances of words that are in all caps in word
office 365?
to add to what Valerie said, I wonder if I did a test; when you do a
find you ca can match case; I use Microsoft Word and the match case is on
(in? I better check again lowerleft handcorner; uyes; if you click on Find
and put the word you want found under the search you can request match case
it will find words all in caps or italics, watever case you want; Idon't
know if that helps because it sounds as if all the words are in caps; but
maube she does'tbhave to.put words in teh search; try just putting search and
then caps and see what happens;let me know the other thing I can think of is
to go to the Format andhighlight the whole page , uncheck t capswhere it
says character ..uncheck teh caps; theoretically that should work ; Ihaven't
triedit but if you aren't yusing Word I don't know ... let me know smile
