Default Formula for Formatting Fonts

I have a spreadsheet that consists of Names and Addresses, however they are
all in capital letters. There are about 600 entries. It'll take me forever if
I edit each one manually. What formula should I use to make the Names not all
caps. For ex. JOE SMITH becomes Joe Smith. Last Name is in one column and the
First Name in another column.

Please Help!

Thank you so much :)

Assuming the names are in cols A and B, from row1 down,
Put in C1: =PROPER(A1)
Copy C1 to D1, fill down as required

Select cols C and D, and then do
a copy paste special as values
to overwrite cols A and B
(try on a *spare* copy first)
