AW: {*} Matching the CAPITALIZATION of the interface

["Andreas Ternes" <aternes -at- invitec -dot- com>]

Hi Steven,

in similar situations I have used small caps. They match the name on screen, but don't "destroy" the text flow.

Greetings from Germany

Before I launch into a rant at work, I would like to check with the 
list on a matter of best practice.

We are documenting a product with hundreds of named, permanent data 
objects that you can create and modify. The interface includes complex, 
multi-tabbed forms for each class of object, often with labeled 
sections on each tab. In the last major release of the product, the 
company hired an outside consulting firm to redesign the forms. The 
redesign included setting the form names and section labels in 
uppercase. So, for example, let's say there's an Access object named 
Write that you define and modify using a form titled "ACCESS Write" 
(the form name is in uppercase on screen) and on the front tab there's 
a section labeled "PARAMETERS" (the section label is in uppercase on 
the form).
