For consistency in capitalization style with "Anti-Virus" in this tree? Then, do you think on the same tree, make it "Editor Preferences" (the only other noun not capitalized here). Or is it only that the style of "Anti-Virus" with its hyphenation should be matched by "Anti-Spam," which is also hyphenated? These are nice questions. I used to deal with them all the time when I used to be a book manuscript editor, lo these 55 years ago. :) Sometimes there would be no example in either the house style-book or in the current large dictionary, and I would just have to go with my gut feeling. Here, I tend to side with you, make "Anti-spam" consistent with "Anti-Virus." But to my eye, immediately "preferences" with its lower-case "p" jumps out, and I would probably capitalize it, also. In a list or a tree, I think it's largely a matter of personal taste and of consistency. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.5 Return RC9 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5 Return RC/9 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
