Where is the "Change Case" menu item? Did Microsoft actually remove a useful
feature across version updates, or am I just paranoid?

That's not an Excel feature. It is in Word, but not Excel unless it is by
way of add-in or code

Paranoid, there has never been a change case menu item in Excel, if you had
it in an earlier version it must have been a 3rd party add-in like ASAP
utilities etc.

Or function of course for lower. Proper and UPPER case

=UPPER(A1)
=LOWER(A1)
=PROPER(A1)

But they're still there right up to 2007

Thanks for the answer, folks! You were right: paranoia. I checked it out
myself, as well. Word 2003 -- yes, Excel 2003 -- no. The fact that I use
OpenOffice as well -- and it IS a Format menu item there -- explains the
source of my confusion. Looks like I need to stop comparing Excel to free
software. :-)

Thanks again for the quick response.

Try this macro:
Sub Change_Case()
Dim ocell As Range
Dim Ans As String
Ans = Application.InputBox("Type in Letter" & vbCr & _
"(L)owercase, (U)ppercase, (S)entence, (T)itles ")
If Ans = "" Then Exit Sub
For Each ocell In Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, 2)
Select Case UCase(Ans)
Case "L": ocell = LCase(ocell.Text)
Case "U": ocell = UCase(ocell.Text)
Case "S": ocell = UCase(Left(ocell.Text, 1)) & _
LCase(Right(ocell.Text, Len(ocell.Text) - 1))
Case "T": ocell = Application.WorksheetFunction.Proper(ocell.Text)
End Select
Next

How do I take the macro you gave me and put it into my Excel program?

The first think you do is keep your reply in the same thread you started.
Then people will know who you are talking to.

great macro! saved me alot of time...
might i suggest wrapping the select case with "If ocell < "" Then", "elseif"
so that you can sellect a range that includes empty cells...
