Scale type – Adobe InDesign User Manual
Page 432
Note:
1. Select text.
2. Choose All Caps or Small Caps in the Character panel menu or in the Control panel. If the text was originally typed in all caps, selecting
Small Caps will not change the text.
Specify the size for small caps
1. Choose Edit > Preferences > Advanced Type (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > Advanced Type (Mac OS).
2. For Small Caps, type a percentage of the original font size for text to be formatted as small caps. Then click OK.
Change capitalization
1. Select text.
2. Choose one of the following in the Type > Change Case submenu:
To change all characters to lowercase, choose Lowercase.
To capitalize the first letter of each word, choose Title Case.
To change all characters to uppercase, choose Uppercase.
To capitalize the first letter of each sentence, choose Sentence Case.
The Sentence Case command assumes that the period (.), exclamation point (!), and question mark (?) characters mark the ends of
sentences. Applying Sentence Case may cause unexpected case changes when these characters are used in other ways, as in abbreviations, file
names, or Internet URLs. In addition, proper names may become lowercase when they should be uppercase.
Scale type
You can specify the proportion between the height and width of the type, relative to the original width and height of the characters. Unscaled
characters have a value of 100%. Some type families include a true expanded font, which is designed with a larger horizontal spread than the plain
type style. Scaling distorts the type, so it is generally preferable to use a font that is designed as condensed or expanded, if one is available.
