You can tell MS Word to search for a specific word with upper case only by making some additional configurations which requires a few additional clicks.įor example, by default MS Word would treat ‘a’ and ‘A’ as a same character and would replace it with ‘the’ if set so.
Since MS Word ignores the case levels according to its default configuration, if you, as an end-user, want to search for and replace a certain word with specific cases (uppercase for example), you must tell the application to do so. Although this feature is integrated in MS Word to make the search and replacement process user friendly and comfortable, this might sometimes be annoying when users want to replace the words that have certain cases (lower case or upper case). When talking about MS Word, it is true that the application ignores the text cases, and searches for and replaces the words even if they are in uppercase or lower case.
