I have an excel spreadsheet with 10,000 cells, all the words are in CAPITALS

Any way to remove the capitals, or better yet capitalise the first letter of each word?
 
Find a few spare columns

Use the following formula

=PROPER(CELL)

This will convert the contents of that cell to Capitalised then lower case. Copy this and paste the values overwriting the capitals.
 
Highlight then shift F3 to cycle through upper case>lower case>leading capitals. It doesn't work in all versions.

=PROPER(A1)

if A1 contained.. "THIS IS a test" that would output as "This Is A Test"

could replace PROPER with UPPER or LOWER
