why does all caps shortcut now show as override

Until recently, I happily used Ctrl-Shift-K to uppercase text.

Now, it was showing up as uppercase, but highlighted as an override.

I see now that it was really "all caps" rather than "uppercase". I am quite unclear about the difference.

I created a new shortcut set, and reassigned CTRL-Shift-K as 'uppercase', which works and does not show as an override.

So, why would 'all caps' show as an override but not 'uppercase'?

One other thing I remember now - if only "display" as all caps, then if referenced in TOC or Xref, it will show as original case.

Since I had used Ctrl-Shift-K to uppercase stuff for TOC inclusion, it must have been switching the text to uppercase.

That means either the shortcut changed, or maybe I had assigned that as uppercase in my prev version of ID, and that assignment got lost in the upgrade.

Oh, well - sorted now!

One way to avoid override problems is to make a character style to display the content in all caps. Assign a keyboard shortcut to the style and you'll have the same functionality as before, but without any errors or overrides.
