If you want to achieve this without changing your settings, just enter the surname as o'brian. Legacy will change it to O'brian when you go yo the next box in that screen. Then go back to the surname box in edit mode. Place the cursor at the b, delete it and put in a B. You will then have O'Brian.
You will be left with both O'Brian and O'brian in your master list of surnames. A 'Purge Unused' in Options will get rid of the O'brian as long as no others have been entered with O'brien. In that event, a Show list in Options will show you what ones need correcting.
