rodchar -
Set up a dummy column and use the LOWER function as = LOWER(A1). Then
Copy Paste Special Values to convert that new column to values
only. Copy those over the original column and delete. If you need to
do this frequent, you'd need to write a half dozen lines of VBA.

Hi rodchar,

Sub CHANGE_TO_LCASE()
'select range and run this to change to all CAPS
Dim cel As Range
For Each cel In Intersect(Selection, _
ActiveSheet.UsedRange)
cel.Formula = LCase$(cel.Formula)
Next
End Sub

Which is a variation of Paul B's response to kristel, who only
yesterday needed to change an entire document to uppercase. I just
changed UCase$ to LCase$.
