Not the answer im looking for.. I need a default set so anyone who opens the
spreadsheet and enters data, the text will automatically default to caps. I
can do this in VB and other programs. Not sure if Excel has that feature.

Nothing built into excel, but you can use an event macro.

See Chip Pearson's site:

You can read more about events at:

I understand. You can control CAPS LOCK. See:


http://groups.google.com/group/micro...b7257930476d1d

Include a call in a workbook open event macro to set CAPS LOCK on.

To learn about event macros. see:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Target.Column 8 Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Formula = UCase(Target.Formula)
ErrHandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code"

Copy/paste the code into that module.

Operates on columns A through H.

Change the Target.Column = 8 to adjust.
