Default Changing cases to proper

Insert a helper column. Enter the formula =proper(a1), and copy down. Copy the
new column, and Paste SpecialValues the old column. Delete the helper column.
Repeat for each column.

You will probably have to manually correct some names, especially last names
beginning with Mc and Mac.
