Anthony,
Style guides tend to deal with issues of written language. That being
said, there are a number of entries in the Microsoft Manual of Style
that deal with how to talk about information presented in a
screenshot, especially "screen terminology.'
What kind of information are you looking for, exactly, when you say
you want "standards for screenshots?"
