I have approximately 600 cells in a single column, with each word in each
cell in all caps. It looks something like this:
A
HARDWOOD FLOORS
CARPETING
OAK FLOORS

etc.

I would like to make it so my data looks like this
A
Hardwood Floors
Carpeting
Oak Floors

Simply, the first letter of each word capitalized instead of everything in
all caps. Since it's 600 cells, I need to do this en masse without having to
retype every cell. Any help?
