[NFBCS] Screen Readers Reading Fonts That Are All Uppercase

[Dr Denise M Robinson]

 Curtis
On that checkbox. The only way the all caps check box works is if you type
it out first, then select it and THEN check the box
If you want it to cap from the get go:
Just turn on caps lock and type what you want capitalized and it will be in
all caps. If you type a word already, select it all and shift F3 to cycle
through options or go to your check box now
Hope that helps

It can be confusing because logic will tell us that if we check that box
and start typing it should be in caps. It does not.
