Use this interactive demo to learn how to change text case in Adobe InDesign.

‍

Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to change case in Adobe InDesign:

‍

To change the text case in InDesign, highlight the text, then go to the top menu and click 'Type.'
Select 'Change Case', then choose your preferred text case.
You will see the text case update in real time (in this example, UPPERCASE was applied).

📌 Why this matters

Changing text case saves you from retyping entire sections when you receive content in the wrong format or need to match specific style guidelines. You can instantly transform headings, pull quotes, or body text to meet brand standards or design requirements.

This becomes particularly valuable when working with imported text from various sources that arrive in inconsistent formats. Rather than manually editing each word, you maintain formatting consistency across large documents while preserving all other text styling like fonts, spacing, and special characters.
