set (italics, superscript, etc.). Originally, I had used a combination of caps and small caps for authors' names (e.g. Smith, J. --- with small caps applied as an effect over the lower case letters).
So wouldn't you have "Smith J" and apply small caps to the lot i.e. to lower and upper case letters.
The publisher didn't like it. So, I replaced the small caps with caps using Swap case ... 

Giving everything in caps.
the CAPS and wants me to change everything to, e.g., Smith, J. (this time without small caps). If David's new remove>effect could reverse Swap case, then the task would be very much quicker. 

Well no, you've changed the document now.

All that follows is hindsight.

Yes using a style could have made things vastly easier.
If you have to change the document then there are things like macros and editing the DDL which might make things easier. I wonder if you can teach a macro to recognise an author name.
OP has a case (aka capitalisation) effect, which offers normal, title (first letter in a word capitalised), upper and lower. You can use this effect in combination with small caps.
Your problem could have been solved by marking up the names with a style and then applying the case and small caps effects.
