Working with Plug-Ins – Changing Case of Text
Changing Case of Text
PageMaker provides three type-case attributes: Normal leaves uppercase and lowercase letters as typed; All Caps displays letters as full-sized capitals; and Small Caps displays lowercase letters as small capitals, based on the size specified.
