Hi,

i find that this works ok.

Sub lowercase()
Dim Oldv, Newv
Oldv = ActiveCell.Value
Newv = Format(Oldv, "< ")
ActiveCell.Value = Newv

it changes to lowercase though. not sure how to stop that but it does the
following.
select the cell containing the calculated formula
issue routrine and it changes.

If you can modify this not to change to lower case then please update me.
