A small change maybe in case the OP enters a formula

T.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Proper(T.Formula)

You can use an event macro to translate your typing. Say we want input in
column A to be automatically translated:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Set T = Target
Set A = Range("A:A")
If Intersect(T, A) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
T.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Proper(T.Value)
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub


Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and automatic to use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the Excel window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you have any concerns, first try it on a trial worksheet.

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.


To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

Can I change the case in cells without using the PROPER function. What i mean
by that is if I type - 'the happy dog' in a cell I want it to appear as 'The
Happy Dog' automatically WITHOUT having to use the PROPER function.
