Crystal Reports changes text to lower case

I have text objects on a Crystal Report in Visual Studio with an initial capital. When I print the report, the text is all lower case.

And the reason is?

Can you change the text from lower case to upper case?

To use a keyboard shortcut to change between lowercase, UPPERCASE, and Capitalize Each Word, select the text and press SHIFT + F3 until the case you want is applied.

How do I change the field format in Crystal Reports?

In the Preview tab, right-click on the text object or field you wish to modify - a blue border will appear around it/the field will be highlighted. 2. Select Format Text or Format Field from the displayed menu.

We have found a workaround for this problem. Not sure how this works :) - can any expert explain?

We found that this problem of case change was happening whenever the extent of text within any page / section of the report was going beyond the settings of the page size minus gutter, left/right margins, top/bottom margins set for the report.

As a workaround, we have asked all our reports developers to keep the text (for A4 size reports) to within 7.5 inches X 7.5 inches. The problem does not happen when this is adhered to.

Would definitely like to know exact reasons for the misbehavior though.
