using the fill handle All the cells return the value of the first

I have used the formula =PROPER() with the cell reference of the first name
in uppercase in my list A2. When I double click on the fill handle at the
bottom left corner of the cell, instead of changing the names to proper case,
it merely copies the value in the first cell - so if I was changing ANDERSON
to Anderson, not only would the first cell in my formula column show
Anderson, but also the other cells in the column.
The cells in the column, however, show an incremental change to the forumula
under the returned data (=PROPER(A3); =PROPER(A4), ect.

any suggestions?
 
Chris,

Change to automatic calculation mode: Tools / Options... Calculate tab.
