is there a way i can format a worksheet with mixed cased data into initial caps for all fields? data was imported from a SQL db with no case restraints on formatting and i have users trying to do mail merge letters and are having to reformat all cap fields into initial caps individually.

any suggestions appreciated. thanks.

Here is a VBA solution:<pre>
Sub ApplyUpperCase()
Dim cell
Dim ConstantCells

On Error Resume Next
If Selection.Count = 1 Then
If Not Selection.HasFormula Then
Selection.Value = UCase(Selection.Value)
End If
Else
Set ConstantCells = Selection.SpecialCells(xlConstants, 23)
For Each cell In ConstantCells
cell.Value = UCase(cell.Value)
Next cell
End If
End Sub</pre>
