Modifying text data in an imported contact file

S

Stuff

Hi,

(I am using Excel 2000)

I have imported close to 700 contacts from a web based contact manager. I
have successfully separated the first, middle, and last names using DATA >
COLUMNS-To-TEXT..

2 "problems" remain-- a serious one and a not-so-serious one:

#! --- The names are hyperlinked to the old web based URL, and selecting a
name brings up the website -- this is the serious problem -- how do I remove
the hyperlink leaving only text?

#2 --- The names are all capitalized -- not-so-serious, but not-so-nice --
how can I efficiently produce all lower-case letters following the initial
capital letter?

Thank you for you suggestions!!!!
"Howie"

I copy pasted the individual columns into Word (2000), selected TABLE >
SELECT > COLUMN, then used FORMAT > CHANGE CASE > SENTENCE, and
voila!!!!!!!!

One way:

Type ALT-F11 to enter the Visual Basic Editor. In the Immediate
window (View/Immediate Window), type or paste

ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Delete

and hit Enter. Type ALT-F11 to return to XL.
