To make all tables default to use All Uppercase, this can be found under Tools > Options > Document Properties > Drafting Standard.  The option ‘All uppercase for tables’ will apply to any NEW tables added.  Previous versions had the option ‘All uppercase’ in Drafting Standard but this only applied to Notes.  This has been renamed to ‘All uppercase for notes’ for clarity.
