Changing case of words


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 change this.

When the concordance is displayed

When the concordance is displayed, you can change the case of the words to lower case or mixed case (first letter upper case) using Change Case on the Headwords Menu.  This function changes the case of all the words - you can't choose which.

The setting you choose will be used when the concordance is printed or exported as HTML.

As the concordance is made

You can also choose to avoid normalising the words altogether as the concordance is being made. Then, for example, 'This', this', and 'THIS' will all have separate entries in the Wordlist.  See Treat upper and lower case separately.
