# Changing the Case of Text

You can change the case of text, format text with small capitals, or capitalize the first letter of each word in a selection.

When you apply formatting to your text by Format - Character, the text stays the same, it is only displayed in another way. On the other hand, when you choose Format - Text or Format - Text - Change Case, the text is permanently changed.
