Treat upper and lower case separately
Headwords appear by default in upper case, since Concordance normalises words as they are read from your text. So, for example, 'This', this', and 'THIS' will normally all be gathered together and counted as instances of the same word. You can, however, change this behaviour.
On the Text menu, choose Special, then Treat upper and lower case separately. When you next make a concordance, no normalising will be done. Then, for example, 'This', this', and 'THIS' will all have separate entries in the Wordlist.
If you combine this option with Show duplicate words separately and then sort the Wordlist by order of occurrence, you will get an exact list of the words in your text in the order they originally appeared. This can sometimes be useful.
If you choose this option and also use the Pick List to make a Fast Concordance, the words picked from your text will be those which are a case-sensitive match with the words in the Pick List.
You can also change the case of all words while the concordance is displayed. See Changing case of words.
