    Restricting typing of special characters

    I would like to restrict the typing of special characters and numbers in a particular column of worksheet. Only Alphabets should be permitted in that column. Space between two words can be permitted.
    Even if the data entry made in that particular column is in small letters it should automatically convert to CAPITALS.

    Please help me with a macro

    Re: Restricting typing of special characters

    The Sheet does not have a Keypress event so preventing the typing of special characters dynamically will be out of the question.

    However there are a couple of strategies you can use to help prevent or strip away offending chars after the fact...

    One strategy would be using Data Validation .... http://www.tvmcalcs.com/blog/comment...ta_validation/

    Another using Code after the fact say developing a macro to strip all special characters in a column which would be run after entry...
