I want to create a character style that changes all-capital

the abbreviations have already been typed in all capitals. Is there
any way to do this?
Example:
Harriet, an FBI agent, turned on CNN to get the dirt
on the CIA before going to bed at 9:30 PM.
I want to be able to take text like the example above, select FBI,
CNN, CIA, and PM, apply a character style, and see them as small
capitals. Is this possible? Without retyping or replacing the abbreviations?
I think you can do this fairly easily as long as you *don't* have the
initialisms in capitals to start with. If you do, it may be
convenient to convert them using Find & Replace. Replace "PM" with
"pm" and so on.
So, in short, no, it's not possible. :)
o With the new style name selected in the list, press the Fill
Format Mode button. The cursor changes to a paint can.
o Go through your text, clicking once with the paint can on each initialism.
o Press the Fill Format Mode button again (or just press Esc) to
cancel this mode.
Hmm! I didn't know about this mode. Thanks for the tip.
