In PC Word I can change the case of a word by pressing Shift-F3. Is there a similar shortcut (not Shift-F3 which does other things) in Mac Word?

Word changes the case of the first letter (or first letters, if more than one word is selected) on shift F3, but if you hold shift and press F3 twice, the rest of the highlighted text will change case. A third press of F3 will return all text to its original case.
There are some exceptions, such as when there already is a leading capital - cycling through different amounts of F3 presses on some sample text will give you a good idea of these.
Or am I misunderstanding, and you have s-F3 assigned to something else? In Word help, there are instructions to customize shortcut key assignments.

If you don't want to have to push the fn key, open your OS X Keyboard & Mouse prefs and check the box "Use the F1-F12 keys to control software features"
In the end the shortcuts are the same on the Mac, it's just that on a laptop, the Fn keys drive hardware by default. On the desktop Mac there would be no shortcut difference.
