Subject: Re: Web-?-web-?-based?
Tara,
I always go with "Web-based." Since the standard practice is to capitalize
"Web" when standing alone, I see no reason to change that when making it
part of a hyphenate.
I think the Microsoft Style Manual backs me on this, but I don't have it
handy, so I could be wrong.
Martin
