The best thing for this type of requirement is McSink, the shareware
version of Vantage.  Both of these are Word Processing DA's, and have
the capability to shift all caps -> lowercase, and to capitalize
words.

The MS Word command, by the way, just makes the text LOOK uppercase.
If you save it as an ascii file, it will be lowercase.
