I made friends in my department at work today when out of frustration I googled how to convert all caps text into lower case text. We spend a lot of time copying large chunks of text from a goverment website where it's in all caps, and then editing bits and peices of it. It looks like shit in all caps, so we want to convert it to lower case to look nice for the clients.

Anyway, you just select the text and hit shift-F3. And you can keep doing it to toggle back and forth.

It sounds dumb but it's a nice trick when you need it.

Are you working in Word? There's a button you can select to convert text to all upper or lower case, sentence case, initial caps, etc.

Yep that does the same thing. Except I seem to always be under the wrong tab and that button isn't visible until I click around to get to the correct tab.

Yep, you have to click on the Home tab to get to the font stuff. :)

The only time I wanna see milk in a bag is when I'm looking at a cow.

Or Hustler magazine.

we have milk in a bag here at Kwik Trip.

I do not drink milk fast enough to leave it in an open pitcher once I've opened the bag.


And I'm not into the excess packaging required for small bags, though I guess some research could be done into what goes into a half-gallon waxed cardboard container compared to 8 one-cup bags. The bags may well win out.

It would have to be a pretty heavy plastic bag because of the handing, a baggie won't cut it.

split milk is a pita! gets all stinky right quick

They have special holders for the bags. I visited my brother in Ottawa for Xmas last year and got to try these milk bags out.

To be honest, I prefer a plastic jug or cardboard carton.

This world is a strange and beautiful thing.

Strange, but, beautiful.

In descending preference:
Glass
Carton
Plastic
Baggie

Seriously, if it isn't glass you can taste it in the milk.

Could be same reason that coffee only tastes the best in a porcelain cup?
