AnyCase App Documentation

Most users have installed an app on Windows before, and for them, the installation process does not need much of an explanation, as it’s the same whenever you install an application to expand/add additional functionality to Windows. AnyCase App is compatible with Windows 10/8.1/8 and 7.

Most of AnyCase users are in the business sector, AnyCase is built In a way that anyone that needs case conversion functionality can add and Install it. No administration privileges required (from v5.22 and above)

Installation Steps (Video goes over all steps)

1. Download the latest version of AnyCase App
2. Click the downloaded file to start the installation
3. Follow the steps in the wizard
4. Wait for the installation to finish
5. TEST:  Select any editable text and test a conversion

AnyCase uses Windows shortcuts to convert between Uppercase, Title Case, Sentence Case, and Lowercase. To use a shortcut like Win+Alt+U for example to change the text to uppercase, you will need to:

1. First, perform the selection
2. When the text selected press these 3 buttons at the same time

An easy way to remember the case conversion shortcuts is that they all start with the Windows key + Alt Key, or in short Win+Alt and the first letter of the change you want to be performed (when possible), For example, Win+Alt+U will Change the text case to Uppercase.

U = Uppercase
T = Title Case
S = Sentence Case
L = Lowercase
A = Alternating Caps
O = Toggle Caps

Being able to convert case using a context menu is one of the more powerful features of AnyCase, it opens the ability to perform a conversion directly in any program using a context menu, for this method you don’t need to remember any shortcuts, the steps to use the context menu to change capitalization is as follows:

1. First, select your text
2. Hold the control(Ctrl) key on your keyboard, then press the right-click button on your mouse

This will bring up a context menu dedicated to case conversions, with options to uppercase, lowercase, sentence case etc. On the right, you can see an example of the context menu in action on Twitter, but remember that this option will work in all the supported applications the same way.

To bring up the context menu in any program you normally press the right-click button of the mouse, to bring up the dedicated case conversion menu of AnyCase hold the control(Ctrl) key before pressing the right-click.

The options available on the context menu are:

• Convert to uppercase
• Convert to title case
• Convert to sentence case
• Convert to lowercase
• Convert to Alternating caps
• Magic Paste
  • Paste
  • What is it? (help)
• More
  • Clear text styling
  • Remove double spaces
  • How many were

The context menu includes the “how many words?” feature which is a unique option that currently doesn’t appear in shortcuts or the application window.

This feature lets you paste the copied text in fields that are blocking it, to the right you can see an example where in the first try I am using the normal paste function of Google Chrome and nothing happens, on the second try I use the magic paste option of AnyCase App to paste the same text in without a problem.

Whenever you encounter a field that blocks you from pasting text you have copied to your clipboard (like in the example) you can use this feature to bypass it.

The how many word feature is a word counter, it will count the number of words are in the selected text, how many characters are in the selected text, and how many characters are without spaces.

1. First, select your text
2. Hold the control(Ctrl) key on your keyboard, then press the right-click button on your mouse
3. Select the how many words option from the context menu

You will be presented with:

• “How many words” are in the selected text.
• How many characters are in the selected text Including spaces
• How many characters are in the selected text without Including spaces

The AnyCase App window acts as a floating window that is always available. the AnyCase window floats above all other windows as you work, it is perfect for those moments you need to scheme through a document and change capitalization in multiple locations. Simply leave the window in a comfortable location and start hacking away through the entire document, as you fly through case conversions.

This function is performed on the text you already copied, in the case that you have copied formatted text and you want to paste it as plain text, clicking the button “clear text styling” will clear the formatting of the text you copied.

While Ctrl+Shift+V (the built-in function for Windows to paste plain text) works on some applications, this clearing function will work for you in all applications, especially in cases where the formatting persists and doesn’t get cleared, or when Ctrl+Shift+V  doesn’t work and doesn’t insert text at all.

The steps are as follows:

1. Copy any text you would like To clear formatting for
2. Press the clear Styling Text Button
3. Paste in your desired location
