Shelly
This can be done through the use of the PROPER Function.
SHELLY JOHNSON in A1
In B1 enter =PROPER(A1) to return Shelly Johnson
If you have name like SHELLY MACDONALD the PROPER function will return Shelly
Macdonald which is not correct. but Excel has its limitations.
To really do it up right you need a macro.
David McRitchie has such code that deals with Mc, Mac, deBeers and other
anomalies at his site.
