To apply all caps and small caps
When you format text as small caps, Illustrator automatically uses the small-cap characters designed as part of the
font, if available. Otherwise, Illustrator
synthesizes
the small caps using scaled-down versions of the regular capital
letters.

you create.

Choose All Caps or Small Caps from the Character palette menu.
To specify the size for synthesized small caps, choose File > Document Setup, and choose Type from the pop-up
menu at the top of the dialog box. For Small Caps, type a percentage of the original font size for text to be formatted
as small caps. (The default value is 70%.)
To change the capitalization style of text to uppercase, lowercase, title case, or sentence case, use the Type > Change
Case command.
