Summary:

Uppercase letters change to lowercase letters in Word versions 3.0x and 4.00 when you use the Save As command (from the File menu, choose Save As) to save a file as Text Only. Bold and italic instructions, as well as font changes, also disappear.

Only the characters that were originally entered are retained when saving a document using the Text Only option; any formatting instructions are erased from the document. In particular, if text entered as lowercase had All Caps formatting applied to it before the Save As, the text will be returned to lowercase letters.
