    Can I automatically capitalize first letter of every word?

    I am preparing a list of addresses, some of which are in all lower case. Is there a way to automatically capitalize the first letter of each word in Excel? Again, I already have the addresses typed out, so it isn't just a matter of having Excel automatically capitalize the first letter of each word as I type them.

    And I realize this is an Excel forum, but perhaps there is a way to do this in Word?

    If it is only the first letter in the first word in cell A1, you can use this formula:

    =UPPER(LEFT(A1,1))&RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)

    or do you need to capitalise on multiple words in each cell ?

    If you need to capitlise each word in the cell use
    =PROPER(A1)
