I've "inherited" a spreadsheet that I will use for a bulk mail merge. It is
in all capital letters. I'd like to change it so that it is not all caps. I
found the auto correct function for use while typing, however, I haven't
found a way to correct after-the-fact.

Jo

Not sure if I understand correctly
Try this

=PROPER(A2)

this will Microsoft if you have MICROSOFT
change the cell reference to yours

Select the cells you want to change and run this little macro:

Sub properr()
For Each r In Selection
r.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Proper(r.Value)
Next
End Sub

Hi,

Suppose the cells are A1:A10

In B1 enter the formula

=PROPER(A1)

Copy it down. Convert the column B formulas to values and replace the
original data.

There are free add-ins on the internet to do this to a selection via a
macro. Take a look at this site

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/ChangingCase.aspx

Or very simple version:

Sub ChangeCase()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
cell.Value = WorksheetFunction.Proper(cell)
Next cell
End Sub

Thanks everyone. I actually had found that "PROPER" earlier, but didn't
realize I'd have to make a "dummy" column to use to make it work.

Took care of it nicely.

Thanks!

Jo

Be careful with this macro.

If any cells in the selection contain formulas they will be wiped out and
converted to values only.

Run this macro.

Sub Proper()
Dim Cell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each Cell In Selection
Cell.Formula = Application.Proper(Cell.Formula)
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
