To change the entire used range on a worksheet at once would require a Macro.
Here is one to change all cells to Proper Case.
Sub Proper()
Dim Cell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each Cell In Selection
Cell.Formula = Application.Proper(Cell.Formula)
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
If you're not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for
more on "getting started".
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm
or Ron de De Bruin's site on where to store macros.

In the meantime..........
First...create a backup copy of your original workbook.
To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.
Hit CRTL + r to open Project Explorer.
Find your workbook/project and select it.
Right-click and InsertModule. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.
Run or edit the macro by going to ToolMacroMacros.
You can also assign this macro to a button or a shortcut key combo.
