    Excel 2003 - Capitalisation question

    I was wondering if there is a way to set up a cell to format the text that is entered into it in the following way

    I know that there is the =PROPER(cell) function, but this seems to be to correct it after the event, and what i am trying to do is to force this to happen as users fill in the cells

    Ideally i would like to find a way to do this without VBA's

    Hope that makes sense

    It can't be done without VBA. You could use data validation to require the user to enter data that way (=exact(A1, upper(a1))), but not to change it.
