Make sure that when you make a line through the word,
you are either above or below the word.
Highlight the word, then place your pen on the line
above the word and quickly strike the pen down through
the highlighted word. It should lower-case the entire
word. Do not start the strike from the word it's self,
you gotta strike -through- the word completly
(perpendicularly as well)
This works every time.
