Default In a column, how can I capitalize ALL text?

Assuming the column of data you want to change is in Column Astarting from
A1:
1 Insert a new Column B clicking into the 'B' of the column and selecting:
Insert Columns

2 Enter in B2 then formula:
=UPPER(A1)
this will put the contents of A1 in B1 in upper case

3 Select cell B1 and hover the cursor over the bottom right-hand corner of
cell B1, (where there is a small black square). When it changes from a big
white cross into black cross-hairs double left-click and the foruma will be
copied down Column B as far as the data goes in Column A.

4 With the new data still selected, right-click and select copy then select
cell A1 and right-click and select Paste Special Values. This will enter
the upper case data into Column A

5 Finally select and delete the helper Column B
