How to Capitalize the First Letter of Text in Excel

Is there an easy way to format cells in Excel to automatically capitalize the first letter of text in a cell?
by

Excel makes it easy to capitalize the first letter of every word in a cell.  To capitalize each word you simply need to use the formula =PROPER().   For instance, if you have data in the cell A1, then you would want to enter the following formula in cell B1: 

=PROPER(A1)

This would capitalize each word in A1, and output the text in the cell B1.
