(In reply to Andreas Heinisch from comment #14)
So it is. Menu 'Format → Character → Font Effects' like "font color", "strike
through", "Relief" and also "Case = Uppercase" only affect the view in the
document, but do not change the ASCII or Unicode. And view (text color or
'"Case = Uppercase"' are not hold in "plain Text"

Proof:
1. Into document type "Text". 
2. Copy / paste that word to a [hexdump viewer](https://8gwifi.org/hexdump.jsp) 
   » shows "00 54 00 65 00 78 00 74"
3. Now apply Menu 'Format → Character → Font Effects  → Case=Uppercase'
   » View changes to "TEXT"
4. Copy / paste that word to hexdump viewer
   » still shows "00 54 00 65 00 78 00 74"

11. Now again into document type "Text". 
13. Now apply Menu 'Format → Text → "UPPERCASE"
   » View changes to "TEXT", looks completely like in step (3). But ...
14. Copy / paste that word to hexdump viewer
   » Now shows "00 54 00 45 00 58 00 54" ❗  
    Operation (13) changed the Characters, not the view.

Another proof:
21. Highlight "TEXT" from from (3) → apply Context Menu Clear Direct Formatting
   » goes back to "Text", because the code of the characters did not change 
     in (3), only the view.
22. Highlight "TEXT" from from (13) → apply Context Menu Clear Direct
Formatting
   » Remains "TEXT", because word is made of capital letters

So I agree, this one is INVALID.

But may wording in the menus and help should be improved to avoid such
misunderstanding?
