[mso] Re: Format a cell with characters & numbers

Hello,
  I am not sure if formating is possible, I would have used the formula 
      =(UPPER(LEFT(A5,3))&"  "&UPPER(RIGHT(A5,3)))  Assuming  original input is 
in A5
   
  Regards,
  John

  I am trying to format a cell so that it will automatically correctly format
the cell as a UK Post code when it is input e.g. enter PO62SA or po62sa,
would appear as PO6 2SA, i.e. two letters, one or two numbers, a space, then
one number and two letters. I would ideally like it to convert lower case
letters to upper case automatically as well. Is any of this possible?

I have seen the Special Number option in Cell/format, but under English(UK)
there are no options. Can you add your own special formatting to this
option?

TIA for any suggestions.
