Change Case (^K., ^K' and ^K") only apply case change to a highlighted block, sentence, or to a word in which cursor is positioned. They don't look for the ^KB and ^KK markers for the block to act upon. This mode of operation is considered to be more use than needing to block mark with ^KB and ^KK first.
Â
The <B> and <K> block markers aren't shown as they cause problems. If you use ^KH it will show these markers as thick vertical bars and the existace of these markers will be indicated in the Word Status Bar below your document.
If you want these thick vertical bars displayed by default each time you start Word, click Utilities then Options. Then in Word Options click the View tab, and then select the Bookmarks option and then click OK. (In the standard Word menus this is under Tools, Options).
Block selections made with a mouse, or by using Windows style SHIFT+ cursor movement, or Word''s F8 (lock start position) + cursor movement don''t update the ^KB and ^KK markers as it would (except F8, etc.) in WordStar 7. This isn''t possible in Word 97 because VBA doesn''t give any signals of actions taken in the Word editing area.

The insert text into another document in Word can be at any position in the document. This function may be added if there is sufficient demand for it.
