How to Change the Case of Selected Text in the WPS Office Suite

WPS Office can change capitalization, but the built-in method depends on which app you are in. Writer has a Change Case command. Presentation documents a font effect that displays text as capitals. Spreadsheets use formulas. None of those apps publishes a dedicated Change Case keyboard shortcut such as Shift+F3.

If the text is not in a WPS document, or you only need to convert a snippet once, use the free case converter.

What Is WPS Office?

WPS Office is an office suite compatible with Microsoft Office formats. It includes WPS Writer, WPS Presentation, and WPS Spreadsheets, which correspond to Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.

Built-in Ways to Change the Case of Text in WPS Office

Change Case in WPS Writer

In Writer, select the text and use Home → Change Case. WPS currently documents Sentence case, Lowercase, Uppercase, Toggle case, and Title case. Clicking Change Case opens a window. Choose the case you want, then click OK. It is not an “Aa” dropdown that applies the change immediately.

1. Select the text whose case you want to change.
2. Go to the Home tab.
3. Click Change Case. A window opens.
4. Select Sentence case, Lowercase, Uppercase, Toggle case, or Title case.
5. Click OK.

WPS’s published Writer shortcut list does not include a built-in Change Case shortcut such as Shift+F3.

Uppercase display in WPS Presentation

WPS Presentation does not document a Writer-style Change Case dropdown under Home → Font → “Aa”. Current WPS Presentation guidance is to apply All Caps as a font effect. That makes lowercase text display as capitals. It is not the same as Writer’s Change Case command, which changes the actual capitalization of the text. WPS also says the current Presentation version has no dedicated keyboard shortcut for changing case.

1. Select the text you want to display in capitals.
2. Right-click and choose Font, or go to Home → Settings → Font.
3. Open Effects and select All Caps.

Change Case in WPS Spreadsheets

WPS Spreadsheets has no Change Case button. WPS recommends formulas in a helper cell or column:

1. Locate the cell containing the text whose case you want to change.
2. Choose an empty cell for the converted text.
3. To change the text to all uppercase, enter =UPPER(A1) in the new cell, assuming A1 is the original cell.
4. To change the text to all lowercase, enter =LOWER(A1).
5. To capitalize the first letter of each word, enter =PROPER(A1).
6. Press Enter. The new cell shows the converted text.
7. To replace the original text, copy the new cell and paste it as Values over the original cell.

A one-off conversion or an in-place Windows shortcut

One-off paste, not a WPS command: use the free case converter. If you want the same in-place shortcut in Writer, Presentation, Spreadsheets, and other Windows programs, download AnyCase for Windows.

Using AnyCase Third-Party Keyboard Shortcuts

The Win+Alt keys below belong to AnyCase, not to WPS Writer, Presentation, or Spreadsheets. They are global Windows shortcuts. Install AnyCase first; without it, those combinations do nothing in WPS.

The free version is unlimited to use, with a short delay between conversions. AnyCase Pro is $24 per year and removes that delay. It includes three stations.

To convert selected text in any WPS app:

1. Download AnyCase.
2. Install it as you would any other Windows program.
3. Open Writer, Presentation, or Spreadsheets, select the text, then use one of the shortcuts below. You can change the defaults in AnyCase settings.

These are the default AnyCase shortcuts. You can change them in AnyCase settings.

Final Thoughts

Writer can truly change case from Home → Change Case, then OK. Presentation’s documented All Caps option is a font effect. Spreadsheets still use UPPER, LOWER, and PROPER in a helper cell. If you want the same in-place Windows shortcut in all three apps, that comes from AnyCase, not from a hidden WPS command. For a one-off paste, use the free case converter.
