How To All Caps In Windows Microsoft Edge?

If you need ALL CAPS in Microsoft Edge, it helps to separate two different tasks. Typing with Caps Lock on makes the next letters you type uppercase. Converting existing selected text from lowercase to uppercase is a different job. Microsoft Edge has no native command for that conversion. This article is current as of September 20, 2026.
Capitalization in Microsoft Edge, any built in methods?
Microsoft Edge doesn’t natively support converting selected text from lowercase to uppercase or vice versa. Edge’s keyboard-shortcut list and its configurable command list have no uppercase or lowercase conversion command. Caps Lock only changes how later letters are typed. It does not transform already-selected lowercase text.
Microsoft Edge itself has no general-purpose native command that converts arbitrary selected editable text to uppercase. Individual websites/web apps may provide their own case-conversion features. Desktop Word, for example, has Shift+F3 and Ctrl+Shift+A. Word for the web does not support Change Case; PowerPoint for the web does. Those are the apps, not Edge providing a browser-wide converter.
For use with a currently supported version of Microsoft Edge, use Windows 10 or Windows 11. Microsoft Edge 109 was the final version supporting Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Current Edge (110 and later) requires Windows 10 or later. Do not treat Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 as current Edge platforms.
Standard Windows 10 support ended October 14, 2025. If you are still on Windows 10, plan a move to Windows 11. Microsoft still lists applicable Windows 10 releases among Edge-supported operating systems, so Edge can still run on some Windows 10 configurations.
AnyCase App: in-place conversion in Microsoft Edge
Edge has no selected-text case command, so the in-place path is AnyCase, a Windows utility. It is not an Edge feature.
How to Convert to ALL CAPS In Microsoft Edge Using AnyCase
- Download AnyCase.
- After installation, make sure AnyCase is open. Without it, the shortcut below does nothing in Edge.
- In Microsoft Edge, select the editable text you want to convert to ALL CAPS.
- Hold Shift, then right-click the selection and choose uppercase. Ordinary right-click alone opens the usual Edge or page menu. Or press Win+Alt+U, the default AnyCase shortcut for uppercase.
Final thoughts
Microsoft Edge still has no native selected-text case conversion. Caps Lock only affects new typing. Websites and Microsoft web apps inside Edge may offer their own case tools, but that is not Edge converting arbitrary selected text. For a one-off paste, use the free case converter. That page does not convert text inside Edge in place.
