I am working with a spreadsheet which contains employee names and addresses. Everything was initially entered in Capital letters. I would like the easiest way to reformat my cells so that the text has only the first letter of each word capitalized.

I am aware of the PROPER function but am not using it correctly. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
If the data were in cell A1, then in the next column over, simply enter
=Proper(A1)

You can then do a Cut / Paste Special Values only if you want to make those formulas values and delete the original data.
