Use of the PROPER Worksheet Function is a correct answer, but
I expect you would be better off using a macro to change the text values of the cells where they reside rather than introducing extra columns or cleaning up after by converting to text then removing the original cells. See http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/proper.htm the use of a macro gives you additional advantages as well in being able to capitalize IBM as a corporate name not capitalizing certain words within "The Wind in the Willows". Also the ability to include name like my own as McRitchie, which would be common in my own stuff, or to be able to manually correct after running a macro to exactly what you want for a few exceptions. Actually am curious why you said "each word of a phrase" instead of just "each word". If it is just the first letter of sentences and certain combinations of words then the macro page would still be of assistance but you would have to do some customizing -- which is certainly an advantage of macros in that they put you in control to do what you want. -- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Ardus Petus" wrote in message ... =PROPER(A1) HTH -- AP "SBárbara" a écrit dans le message de news: ...
