All about ALL CAPS

All caps is a great tool for emphasizing a word or two on a page, and for creating uniformity between words when no single word is more important than another.  

Now, with the All Caps option in the new text editor, it's easy to convert selected text into all caps.

A few words of caution

As with all great things in life, all caps should be used in moderation. When a sentence is entirely in capital letters, it is harder for people to read than when the letters are in lower case, because there is less shape contrast between the letters. This can slow people down as they read. Make sure to emphasize what's important and not everything.


Using all caps can also make people think you’re shouting. So, while you may want to use them for messages such as LAST CHANCE or HUGE SALE, you may want to use a different emphasis technique (for example, underline, bold or italics) for other texts.
