Is there a program that will change uppercase letters to lowercase letters?

This was the question that I barely realized that I uttered outloud at work today. I had copied some text off a website that was all in capital letters and in my layout I needed some more space, so I decided to change them to all lowercase except for the first letter.

My co-worker told me that Illustrator could change uppercase letters to lowercase or vice versa. Intrigued, I tried it. It works awesome, and it is so simple. Let’s do it.

Step 1: Open Illustrator, Duh.

Step 2 :P aste, or type some text into the program that is in all capitals. (Ctrl + V or Edit > Paste)

Step 3: Click on the bounding box for the text, and go to your menus at the top. For this example of the first letter of the words staying capitalized, choose Type > Change Case > Title Case.

This should give you the result you need. This is a really awesome feature, changing text to sentence format, uppercase, lowercase, or in this case Title Case in just seconds. What a simple trick and a time saver. Thank you Adobe Illustrator.

Why doesn't my new window open using Javascript.

This is not generally my area of expertise. However, the senior programmer I work with, Chris Antoine, came across this when working the other day.

He was simply trying to open a new window using javascript, but it wasn’t working. What he found was that when there was a space in the name of the window, the script wouldn’t work in Internet Explorer.

So, if you are having problems opening a new Javascript window, you may try that first.
