How do I format LARGE CASE text to small case in excel 2002. Thanks Keith

You need a small macro, or a formula in another cell, like
=LOWER(A1)

If you have this in cell A1:
THIS IS MY TEXT
then enter this in cell B1:
=LOWER(A1)
and B1 will display
this is my text

If this is not what you want then please be more specific.

I read this as a question about wether my suggestion works or not. Yes it
does, at least it works perfectly fine on my computer. I don't find
deliberate non-working sloutions amusing, so have no fear. Give it a try. I
come in peace, take me to your leader.

Copy and paste to a general module in your workbook.

If not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for more on
"getting started".

http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm

In the meantime..........

To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

Hit CRTL + R to open Project Explorer.

Find your workbook/project and select it.

Right-click and InsertModule. Paste the above code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

Run the macro by going to ToolMacroMacros.
