Common Mistakes to Avoid

Expecting a different result than the tool gives. The tool sorts the words in your text by length, shortest first or longest first. It transforms your text exactly as described, so check that this is the change you want before using the result.
Copying before checking. It is easy to copy the result without glancing at it. A quick check catches any input typo before you paste the converted text into place.
Pasting into the wrong place. The converted text is only useful where its new form is wanted. Make sure you paste it where the changed case or format is what you need.
Assuming it edits your original. The tool produces a new converted version and leaves your input as you typed it. It does not change your original document; you copy the result and paste it yourself.
