Default Macro that deletes the last character in a cell

I have an 18,000 record database and every entry is a name with the
letter A added to the end. for example: Lastname, firstname A
. I need a macro that will open the cell, backspace the "A" out of
there, close the cell for editing, moves down one record or line and
loops back to editing the cell and removing the A. This was simple in
Lotus but I'm not a programmer and I really don't want to spend 20
hours hitting, F2, Backspace, enter. Does anyone have a simple
solution. I do know how to set up a macro in Excel but that's about it.
Thanks ...TJ
