>>>We have a book in QuarkXPress 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?
If you simply want to capitalize every word:
"Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow" it's a fairly simple task.
If you want to roughly meet most editorial standards for title case (lower case and, the, of, etc.) it becomes more complicated, but still practical.

I just happen to be working on an appleScript solution that will:
Enforce our editorial standard for title case
Use a list of abbreviations and acronyms often used in titles which must be replaced
Use a list of known exceptions where rules for title case don't apply.
Even so, the output will have to be proofed before publication.

And don't get me started on sorting a list of titles : (
