You could also, higlight the text you want to change, then navigate to - 'Edit' > 'Convert Case to' choose UPPERCASE or lowercase (as required).

Solution 6 - Notepad++

I had to transfer texts from an Excel file to an xliff file. We had some texts that were originally in uppercase but those translators didn't use uppercase so I used notepad++ as intermediate to do the conversion.

Since I had the mouse in one hand (to mark in Excel and activate the different windows) I disliked the predefined shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+U) as "U" is too far away for my left hand. I first switched it to Ctrl+Shift+X which worked.

Then I realized, that you can create macros easily, so I recorded one doing:

  • mark all
  • paste from clipboard
  • convert to upppercase
  • copy to clipboard

That macro got assigned that very shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+X) and made my life easy :)
