Changing case with Alt,O

Please could anyone tell me how to retrieve the keyboard Alt+O shortcut that allows you to change the case of selected text to caps. on each word, sentence case, etc? (Shift+F3 doesn't do the same thing.) I had it, but it seems to have disappeared from my Normal template. It comes up with a box that says 'Office access key: Alt, O: continue typing the menu key sequence from an earlier version of Word'.

Perhaps just a timing issue. If you press Alt alone, then you get the new (Ribbon) accelerator keys. If you press Alt simultaneously with one of the accelerators for the old menu bar (File Edit View Insert Format Tools Table Window Help), then you will be able to use those accelerators, but you will need to immediately add the letter(s) for item(s) on those menus. In the example, it was Alt+O, S to open the Format menu and select the Change Case item to open that dialog.
