Perhaps this was a style peculiar to previous employers, but It seems
to me that if you are talking (in software documentation) about the
contents of a field, ie Previous Password, it should be capitalized,
but not necessarily if you are talking about the thing itself ie the
previous password as in what the password used to be. What do you
think and is this a distinction that would be helpful to the average
user and if so is it helpful enough to warrant editing existing
documentation?

I know I got this habit from either the AP or Washington Post syle
manual, so let me run it past you guys... if there is a compound
qualifier (left hand pane is what I am looking at) should it be
hyphenated? Left-hand? Does this make the phrase easier to read?

thanks for all the fish
Dana
