Default Lowercase text changed by Ecel to Uppercase after import

Ps. If you don't see the wizard, you can rename the text file to *.txt, then
use file|open.

You'll see the wizard then.

The file I am opening is as follows with a tab separating the 'true' from the

Sam Smith true
Will Smith true
etc...

and it opens in Excel like this
Sam Smith TRUE
Will Smith TRUE

I tried the Autocorrect settings (thanks) but this did not help.

Any other ideas?

Possibly AutoCorrect (Tools menu). Uncheck capitalize first letter in
sentence. Is it just the first letter in the column or every word?

I opened a tab-separated list text file in Excel. One column had lowercase
text, which Excel converted to uppercase. Is there a way to control this.
Also how would I correct this in Excel

Thanks
