Default Copy/Paste problem with =Proper function

The cells in column A contain:

A Fistful of Goats
A Goat at the Opera
A goat called Wanda
A Goat Grows in Brooklyn
A Goat of their Own
a Goat runs through it
A Goat to Remember

I type =proper(a1) in B1 and the result is 'A Fistful of Goats'.

When I copy the function in B1 and paste it into B2 to B7, the result (in all of the cells) is 'A Fistful of Goats".

However, the cell references in B2 thru B7 are correct:

=PROPER(A2)
=PROPER(A3)
=PROPER(A4)
=PROPER(A5)
=PROPER(A6)
=PROPER(A7)

How can I resolve this problem?

I'm getting this:

A Fistful Of Goats
A Goat At The Opera
A Goat Called Wanda
A Goat Grows In Brooklyn
A Goat Of Their Own
A Goat Runs Through It
A Goat To Remember

I did this 2 ways and got the same results;

1st way:
select B1:B7
type =proper(a1)
hit Ctrl+Enter to populate the selection with the formula

2nd way:
select C1
type =proper(a1)
hit Enter
drag down to C7

Perhaps you should save your work, quit Excel, then restart Excel and try
again. If that fails then reboot and start with a clean cache!

When I click F2 and press "Enter", the result in THAT cell changes to the expected (i.e., correct) result.

or when I save the spreadsheet, the results in ALL cells change to the expected (i.e., correct) results.

Solved!

The Workbook settings was "Manual. Recalculate before saving"
