ADD Change Case function from Word to Excel
 
I am invariably typing text into Excel for Mail Merge Lists and would love to
just type straight and convert the text using a Change Case Funtion such as
you find in Word (Format Change Case) in order to have the proper Caps so the
finish document comes out clean.

I think that the flow of data for long mail merge spreadsheets would be
significantly easier for the Data Input Person if MS would just "cut and
paste" this function into Excel from Word.

Hi Carolyn,

In Excel you have Upper, Lower and Proper functions to manipulate text.

If you have "dave friedman" in A1, use: =PROPER(A1), the result being "David
Friedman"

Etc.
