In Microsoft Word, F3 cycles through changing the case of text. NVDA is not speaking the text when the case changes. Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a line of text with several words.
  2. Put the cursor on any of the words.
  3. Press F3.
  4. Word selects the text and changes the case. It would be good for NVDA to read the text, and possibly spell it so that the user can determine how the text case has changed.
  5. Select multiple words or the whole line of text.
  6. Once again, NVDA does not speak the selected text.
  7. I believe that Word also handles larger chunks of text this way, but usually, I use this feature to change the case of single words or lines.
  8. This same kind of thing happens when you use F8 to select larger and larger bits of text.

I can reproduce this in Word 2016, at least when I use shift+f3 as in the issue title.

I wonder whether it is possible to track down this command, similar to changing bold with ctrl+b, italic with ctrl+i, etc.

I am not sure if this is what the original poster is talking about, but I can also confirm this in Word 2016.
Shift+F3 = Change the case of letters
F8 = Extend a selection
Shift+F8 =Reduce the size of a selection
