Hi Kevs -
What Mike suggested is this: Let's assume that the names start in cell A5;
In another column enter the function: =PROPER(A5)
Copy the formula down as far as necessary
Select & Copy the cells containing the formulas (now displaying the names in
proper case)
Go to cell A5 & use Edit> Paste Special - Values to replace the upper case
names with the proper case version.
