Default How do I set all caps as the default?

I want to set my worksheet up so that all text entered is in caps. I do not
want to have to toggle the Caps Lock key to do this. Is there a way to make
this work?

Mark,

There are VB solutions to this but as you want all caps then pressing the
capslock key once doesn't seem to onerous.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your post. I agree, however, this is not what the user wants.

I am a long way from an expert in VB, so any help/advice/expertise you might
have would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Respectfully,

Mark

Mark,

Right click your worksheet, view code and paste this in

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim MyRange As Range
On Error Resume Next
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each MyRange In Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants,
xlTextValues).Cells
If Err.Number = 0 Then
MyRange.Value = StrConv(MyRange.Text, vbUpperCase)
End If
Next MyRange
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Hi Mike,

Thanks for this. Stupid question #3: Right click exactly where? I do not
find "View Code".

Sorry...

Thanks...

Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code"

Paste the code into that sheet module.

Alt + q to return to the sheet window.
