My question is same as the last one posted but not yet answered?

I want the data entered through the form to be automatically upper case in the spreadsheet. also having problems with new data being formatted as existing data -- columns centered, etc. There is a question at the end where users says he doesn't want to use Lower and Upper functions -- I know how to do that. is there script to convert when the new entry is made that can convert to upper case and enter certain columns?
