Go to the Properties dialog of the text field and under Format select Custom, and enter the following under Custom Keystroke Script:

event.change = event.change.toUpperCase();

Would I have to do that with every box? Is there a way to format the whole document at once?

You want to apply it to all text fields in the file? If so, you can do it using this code:

for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
	var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
	var f = this.getField(fname);
	if (f==null) continue;
	if (f.type=="text")
		f.setAction("Keystroke", "event.change = event.change.toUpperCase();");
}
