Barbara, I am running E8 on WIN 7 and I have the same caps lock problem stuck on when I am in the Create mode. I have tried the method you described in this blog, but it is not working. Is there any other troubleshooting methods other than a re-install?
Thanks
Sue

Are you saying that it works fine in full edit, but just not in Create?

No, the text option only works in caps lock mode at all times in create or full edit.
Thank you,

In either Create or Full edit mode I am only able to type in Full Caps.
Thanks

Try manually deleting the editor's prefs, which are in
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\8.0\Editor
You will need to enable hidden folder viewing to find this path.

Barbara, I am sorry I am being difficult about this, but I really am pretty computer savy. In my WIN 7 I am not finding the link you sent me below. I added my user name and get nothing. I a made sure my hidden files are showing (and they are) but I am not finding this Editor at all.
Thank you,

Are you able to find appdata?
EDIT, Oh, I see you found it.

Yes, I found the appdata and deleted the editor file you spoke of, it did not change anything that I could tell, I can still only type in all caps.
Thank you,

Check to see what font you are using. There are fonts that are ONLY upper case. Using the shift key or the caps lock is irrelevant. They only type in upper case - no matter what you do with the shift key or the caps lock.
When you design a font, you - as the designer - specify exactly what an upper-case "A" (for example) should look like, and what a lower-case "a" (for example) should look like. For these fonts, both the upper-case letters and the lower-case letters are the same - "A". All of the letters in the alphabet were defined to be upper-case letters.
I used to be a professional writer. I've used at least one such font in the past.
It's possible that you have inadvertently switched to such a font.
Switch to a common font - Times, Times Roman, or Helvetica, and see if the problem disappears.

Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac). Keep holding the keys till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
I'm glad I found this advice because the same thing happened to me with the text all in upper case. However I seem to have a new problem It seems that all the little titles of my actions and styles are missing. They have disappeared. Luckily I can hover over the icon and it will tell me what the item is, but the title under the icons are not there at all in the effects pallette. Is there a way to get that back?
Thank you so much!
