I've manually converted all "number format" selections in every worksheet to be General or Custom or text or whatever. I've rooted out all "Accounting" format. Yet what I save it or paste into Excel from other sources like emails and directly from Firefox, Excel forces it into Accounting when it's not (I always have to paste-as text). How can I prevent this nefarious and prolific Accounting format from infiltrating my workbook/worksheets?

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
