Default set all column formats to Text

By default, all columns are formatted as General. This screws up alphabetic
sorts: the name TRUE ends up after the Zs, the name MAY or JUNE etc. ends up
as a date. Ok, so you change the format of all columns to Text, one by one.

Can the default format be set to Text?
Or is there an easier way to change the format of a number of columns at once?

All the Excel help articles I could find worry about changing number
formats, and are no help to me.
