How to Capitalize Every Word in a Text

Why Capitalize Every Word?

Capitalizing every word — sometimes called "start case" or "title case" — is used for headings, titles, proper nouns, and stylistic emphasis. Doing this manually across a long document is tedious, which is why automated tools are so useful.

Capitalize Every Word in Different Tools

Microsoft Word

Select your text, then press Shift + F3 to cycle through lowercase, UPPERCASE, and Title Case. Alternatively, use the Change Case button (Aa) in the Home ribbon.

Google Docs

Select the text, go to Format → Text → Capitalization and choose Title case.

Using a Text Tool

The fastest way is to paste your text into our title case converter and instantly capitalize every major word.

The Difference Between Capitalizing Every Word and Title Case

Capitalizing every single word (including "a", "the", "of") is sometimes called Start Case. True Title Case follows style guide rules and leaves minor words lowercase. Our tool follows standard title case rules.
