Word 2013’s Change Case function quickly switches the capitalization of selected text without requiring manual retyping of the passage. This function is helpful when pasting ill-formatted text from other sources, or you might simply rethink, for example, your decision to scream your words with all caps.
There are several options available in the Change Case menu. Learning what each one does can help you select the best one for your needs.

Sentence Case changes the capitalization into standard sentence case, in which the first character is capitalized, but the remaining text is lowercase. If your selected text doesn’t include the beginning of a sentence, the result is effectively the same as lowercase.

Half-Width/Full-Width are not really capitalization options. Instead, they change the character encoding to single- or double-byte characters, which is useful for some foreign language characters that benefit from the larger, double-byte characters, such as Japanese or Chinese. If you select Half-Width on normal, English text, nothing changes. However, selecting Full-Width significantly increases the character size and spacing.
