Default True to TRUE

I'm entering data for a database at work and when I type in the last name
"True" Excel is changing it to "TRUE." I try to just undo it and it won't.
How do I make it so it's just True????

TRUE is a special value in Excel. To enter True, precede the text
with an apostrophe.

or set the Cell you're typing in (or row or column) format to text

Excel is seeing true as a boolean value.

Chip's solution is equally correct.
