I'm interested in the consensus on this one, too.
I was taught - and I probably erroneously assumed it was the industry
standard - that anything you read from the screen should be courier, anything
you type in or click on should be bold. However, when indicating a single
key, enclose caps in angle brackets, as in <ENTER> or <CTRL>+<F3>. I was told
never to capitalize words except in these angle brackets. Italics I thought
were reserved for introducing new terms.
