OFFICE 2013 AND ALL CAPS

Read Original

The article details a software developer's technical journey to modify Microsoft Office 2013's user interface, specifically to change the default ALL CAPS menu text to lowercase. It describes using WinDBG for reverse engineering, finding the relevant code in mso.dll that calls LCMapStringEx, and creating a custom debugging tool called 'unOFFIC' to apply a memory patch. The process involves overcoming challenges like delay-loaded DLLs and using Image File Execution Options for automatic patching.
