Need help with font

Does anyone know how to type in all caps, but with the first letter being a bit larger than the other letters in the word, without having to change the size for each beginning letter individually?

Hi David.

What program are you typing in?

You're looking for a 'small caps' option or font. In MS Word you get it by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + K.

For other programs it should easy enough to find.

I'm using Microsoft Publisher. Can any font become a small caps font?

I think so, at least in MS Word. I would think so in MS Publisher too. They generally work a lot alike.

It works just like 'bold' or 'italics' either select what you want to have as small caps and press CTRL + SHIFT + K.

Or change the settings for your font to the small caps option and type your heart out.

I don't have publisher, but I think (at least with Word) the "small caps effect" can be used with any "True-Type" font.

It might not work on *all* fonts. But I do see it work on fonts other than just "True-Type" fonts

That's interesting. I don't have many fonts that are NOT "true-type" so I've never bothered to try it with others.
