>>>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.
If you want to handle real world titles for books, movies, songs, poems, TV shows etc. It becomes even more complicated.
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 : (
