    Question Upper / Lower case mix

    I know how to convert to all Upper case or all Lower case, but I want to take a sentence and convert it to where the first letter of the first word of the sentence is capitalized, and the rest of the sentence is lower case...

    is there a function for this, or if not, does anyone have one in their own 'tool' box?

    Thanks.

    Re: Upper / Lower case mix

    This will uppercase the first letter in the cell and lower case the rest...is that what you want? or do you have multiple sentences in one cell?
