Default Init Caps

I used the Proper Function in a Column to pull records that were proper
titles/names of software from a list, however it did not catch what is known
sometime as 'HumpBack Caps' e.g. QuickBooks or ACT!

Is there a function that will find these as well?

Default Init Caps

No. Excel cannot know that QuickBooks is a trade name

Default Init Caps

So there is no function that will explicitly refer to Init Caps which to my
thinking means any word that starts with a CAP vs the stricter definition of
'Formal Caps'?
