You could select the text, then press Shift+F3 once or twice-depending on whether the original text was all uppercase or AllCaps (there is a difference). Shift+F3 is the ChangeCase command, which cycles through lowercase, uppercase, and initial caps.
If you often need to do this, you might create a simple macro that lowercases selected text and assign this macro to a shortcut key. The macro is:
Sub MAIN
ChangeCase 0
End Sub
Note: if the text to be lowercased is a single word, you need not select it first. Just place the insertion point anywhere on the word.

Subject: ALL CAPS to lower case?
Is there a way to change all caps text to lower case without retyping in
Word 7.0 ?
I seem to remember you could do this in Word 2.0.
Thanks,
