Use the PROPER worksheet function in an adjacent helper column.

Sorry Mike, did not understand of word you just said.

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.
