Default Create Acronym (Extract first letter of each word)

The long way around would be to do Data TextToColumns space
delimited....to separate each word into it's own column...........then to
CONCATENATE the
=LEFT(CELL,1) of each of those cells.....

How can I extract first letter of each word in Excel XP?

For example:
I am a boy
You are a girl

Using the pseudo-function called acronym(), the result will become:
IAAB
YAAG

I'm using Excel XP.
Is there any function which can do it?
If not, could anyone provide a macro for me?
(I'm only a beginner in macro)

Thanks.
