Regarding index entries, _The Chicago Manual of Style_ states: "18.10 Initial lowercase letters in main headings. The first word of a main heading is normally capitalized only if capitalized in text-- a proper noun, a genus name, the title of a work, and so on. Indexes in the sciences often avoid initial capitals because the distinction between capitalized and lowercased terms in the text may be crucial. Traditionally, all main headings in an index were capitalized; Chicago recommends the practice only where the subentries are so numerous that capitalized main headings make for easier navigation." The CMOS is a great reference to have on hand. It always seems to have the answers. Mike Wickham
