How can I use the "Small Caps" Font option in an Excel speadsheet
In Word, one just formats the font and its a toggle box option, however, I
can't find this option in Excel. Problem is, we have it being used in some spots (document is being updated, and this isn't the first time in Excel 2003), but when we change it, it changes away from the "Small caps" as well. |

Excel doesn't have this kind of formatting.
Maybe you could search the web to find a font that does small caps. Remember that if you share the workbook with others, they'll have to that font installed, too. But you could use a macro that actually changes the font size (character by character): http://groups.google.com/groups?thre....supernews.com execassist1976 wrote: In Word, one just formats the font and its a toggle box option, however, I can't find this option in Excel.

See Dave's post for more details.
This macro will give you small caps.
