I am working off someone else's spreadsheet and the text is different
throughout. How do I make all the text lowercase/uppercase, without
having to manually do it?

This is probably overkill but it's a program I've had for some time and am
willing to share but not spend the time to make simple. Some of the code is
borrowed from John Walkenbach.
Paste it into a new module. The main macro is 'SelectCase'.

'CODE STARTS HE
'/===========================================/
Option Explicit

'Passed back to the function from the UserForm
Public ChoiceForm_Value As Variant

'/===========================================/
Public Sub SelectCase()
'select a range and wrap UPPER, LOWER or PROPER
' function around it if it's text
Dim aryAnswer(1 To 4) As String
Dim rng As Range, rCell As Range
Dim strSelection As String
Dim strAnswer As String

On Error Resume Next

aryAnswer(1) = "Upper Case"
aryAnswer(2) = "Lower Case"
aryAnswer(3) = "Proper Case"
aryAnswer(4) = "Cancel"
strSelection = Selection.Address

Set rng = Application.InputBox( _
Prompt:="Select range of cells to be changed...", _
Default:=strSelection, _
Type:=8)

strAnswer = udfGetSelection(aryAnswer)

If strAnswer = aryAnswer(4) Then
GoTo exit_Sub
End If

For Each rCell In rng
If TypeName(Application.Intersect(rCell, _
(ActiveSheet.UsedRange))) = "Nothing" Then
Exit For
End If

Select Case strAnswer
Case aryAnswer(1)
If _
WorksheetFunction.IsText(rCell) = _
True Then
If rCell.HasFormula = True Then
rCell.Formula = "=Upper(" & _
Right(rCell.Formula, _
Len(rCell.Formula) - 1) & ")"
Else
rCell.Formula = "=Upper(" & _
Chr(34) & rCell.value & Chr(34) & ")"
End If
End If
Case aryAnswer(2)
If WorksheetFunction.IsText(rCell) = True Then
If rCell.HasFormula = True Then
rCell.Formula = "=Lower(" & _
Right(rCell.Formula, _
Len(rCell.Formula) - 1) & ")"
