How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Right click the Excel logo just to the left of File on the menu bar, select View Code and paste in

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "Hello and welcome!", vbInformation
End Sub

Save the workbook, close it and re-open it to see the effect.

macro named auto_open, or stored within ThisWorkBook module, on OPEN

either a message box (msgbox), or a user form, which can contain images, allsorts. I usually select a front page too, and check protection is applied correctly, that sort of thing
