Fair point, although, if that's the lengths you needed to go to you'd probably be better off copying the data and modifying it in a dedicated word processor to get it how you want it then paste it back in. While the Revit text tools have improved they are still pretty basic in comparison to a dedicated platform.

To be honest, I find that it's enough to use a tool for generally changing the case, and then tweaking it manually afterwards.  Why? Because there are so many "special cases" where I don't want something changed to lower case.  For example:
"20 MPa concrete"
"as per OBC 3.2.2.2.(4)(b)"

... and so on.  Even if I spent time trying to program (Dynamo, PyRevit, or a macro) all these exceptions, I could never be sure there wasn't something I hadn't accounted for, and would have to read it over anyway.  So it would be a lot of effort for little gained -- at least for my situation.  Therefore, using a quick-and-dirty method for converting uppercase to sentence case is good enough.  So whether it's PyRevit or an online case-changing tool I keep open in my browser, those are sufficient for me.
