Capitalization
 
Is there away to change a fully capitalized word into a properly formatted
word?
Example: EXCEL changed to Excel.

Ironically, the function your looking for is PROPER
=PROPER(EXCEL)
returns "Excel"

With your text string in a1

No. But may I ask why you're avoiding a formula? You could create the
formula(s), then do a Copy-Paste Special-Values only if you really want
static values.

You could do it in place with a macro and not bother with formulas or helper
cells.

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
