The most common errors I see are with short words that are not conjunctions, articles, or prepositions. Words such as one, it, its, it's, him, and own should all be capitalized no matter where they appear in a title.
The rules are fairly standard for title case:
- Capitalize the first and the last word.
- Capitalize nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and subordinate conjunctions.
- Lowercase articles (a, an, the), coordinating conjunctions, and prepositions.
- Lowercase the 'to' in an infinitive (I want to play guitar).
The Caps Lock key is a toggle key that allows you to switch the letters on your keyboard from lowercase to uppercase. For example, if you press the Caps Lock key enable Caps Lock, every letter you type on the keyboard will be automatically capitalized until you press it again to disable it.
If the text really has been typed using Caps Lock, then you can use Shift+F3 to change case; if you don't get the desired case by repeatedly pressing Shift+F3 (which cycles through three choices that vary depending on the text selected), use the Change Case button in the Font group of the Home tab.

Proper case is any text that is written with each of the first letters of every word being capitalized. For example, "This Is An Example Of Proper Case." is an example of sentence in proper case. Tip. Proper case should not be confused with Title case, which is most of the words being capitalized.
