We have a book where the titles are all CAPITAL letters (and in style sheet "One").

Is there a way in AppleScript where the titles (in style sheet "One") can be changed to Upper And Lower Case instead?

The process of turning a string into title case (yes, that's the technical term) the text is probably going to be independent of the application, however, unless your application happens to have a command to do it.

This isn't as outlandish a prospect as I thought at first. CSS, for instance, has an attribute to do exactly this. Unfortunately, I don't know Xpress at all, so I can't speak for it. The point is that it's possible in some applications to treat capitalization as a style, so you don't have to modify the text at all.
