Sorry... I wasn't clear. Search/replace won't work. It's lots and lots of different book titles, all throughout a 600 page manuscript. This is a legal textbook with loads of footnotes, which contain references to many other works. The previous author set all the book titles in all caps, now they need to be cap/lowercase (title case).
So a search/replace doesn't work. I'm trying to avoid retyping all these titles. Seems like the best so far is to change the case to lower, and retype the initial caps where needed.

I must be misunderstanding you because it sounds like a simple Find/Change would do it. 1. In the Find/Change dialogue box, set Find to Text: "The Title of This Book." Make sure the "Consider Case" checkbox is unchecked and Find/Change will find the phrase no matter what case it is. 2. In the Find/Change dialogue box, set Change to Text: "The Title of This Book" (capitalized the way you want). That will do it. Of course, if you've set "Small Caps," "Uppercase," or "Lowercase" in the Paragraph Format or Character Format that contains the phrase, the setting will override the intended result. 3. In the Find/Change dialogue, be sure that "Book" is selected. Then hit Find.
