Chnaging Case
 

Hi,

In cells c1 to h200 I have long sentences in each cell,
all the letters are in capitals. I need to write a macro
which loops through each cell and changes the letters to small
except:
1)The first letter
2) Any letter after a full stop
3) i

e.g. THE DAY WAS SUNNY AND I WORE A HAT.PETER WAS THERE

Becomes

The day was sunny and I wore a hat.Peter was there

Thanks A Million for any help

teresa,
In VBA, check out:
LCase -change the whole sentence to lower case
Split -break up you sentence on the "."
Replace -change i to I
UCase(Left -change the first letter of each sentence to Upper case.
And make your own function.

If you intend to handle proper nouns (Peter) correctly, you've got a lot
more work.

Hi Teresa,

I responded in your other thread:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...6dc0b1afa3003e

Google snafued the wrapping in my second post (big time!), hopefully you're
not using that interface!

As Nick mentioned, I made no attempt to deal with proper nouns, acronyms or
anything of the sort.

Regards,
Nate Oliver

teresa,
As another thought, you could see how much mileage you can get from Excel's
grammar/spell checker.
