Testing the Sample Macros

To test the sample macros, follow these steps:

1. In the same workbook that contains the macros, enter the following sample data into a new worksheet:

       A1: toM         B1: toM        C1: toM
       A2: sUe         B2: sUe        C2: sUe
       A3: joe SMITH   B3: joe SMITH  C3: joe SMITH
       A4: mary        B4: mary       C4: mary
       A5: LORI        B5: LORI       C5: LORI
         

   NOTE: This sample data contains text formatted in various cases that you can use to verify how each macro works.
2. Run each of the macros.

The text in the range specified in the macro (in the line that reads "For each x in ...") will be formatted in uppercase, lowercase, or initial capitals, as appropriate.
