Mixed Case vs UPPER CASE

"Is there a compelling reason to use ALL CAPS in Lacerte?"

Someone thought it was too much work to hit the shift key every now and then?

Some folks like all caps.  Personally, I think it looks unprofessional.  It's kind of the old "tastes great" - "less filling" argument.  There is no right or wrong answer, it's just a matter of preference.

Lacerte does have an option to select mixed vs all upper case (I use all upper case... guess I'm unprofessional eh, Jeff :-).

It solves the problems Lisa mentions.

BUT, if the original data entry was in all caps, I don't think switching the option will retroactively fix anything.  Guess it is worth a try tho.

One annoying feature of Lacerte is even if you elect the ALL CAPS, the client InFORmatioN in the ClIEnt LEtTeR will print whatever you typed into Screen 1. 

I agree that all caps tells me something. Lisa never took a keyboarding or typing class. That doesn't mean she don't no how ta do tacks, but I still dunt tink looks 2 gud. My business partner for several decades was like Lisa, so he typed all caps and his clients had the all caps setting in Screen 3. The default setting was mixed and I and the other preparers did our thing. I edited the Table settings on a regular basis to make his entries conform to what the rest of us did.
