I have worksheets that have words all capitalized and I paste it to a new worksheet. The new worksheet must have the words all in lower case except for the first letter of the word. Changing the words to smaller case will be time-consuming and was wondering if there is a feature that can change all the words to smaller case all at once.

Easy bullets in Excel
If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
Simply use the formula

=LOWER(your cell here)

for lower case, and

=PROPER(your cell here)

for sentence case

Can you give me instructions for using the PROPER function? Also, there are 5 to 10 rows of capitalized words that I need to change to smaller case, not just one row. Thanks.

In A1 enter: ar
In B1 enter: =PROPER(A1)

For the larger task you could better use ASAP-Utilities, a free download from:
