I have a big worksheet containing last names with all capitol letters.  I
would like to convert the case of the names so that SMITH will become Smith
and JONES will become Jones.  How can I accomplish this?  I will appreciate
advice.

In whichever column you are going to make use of these converted names, use
the PROPER function to do that conversion.

Say your list starts in A1...

Type in B1 =Proper(A1) and use fill handle to the end of your list.

Copy>Paste Special>Values

Hope this helps,

Gav.
