Which style to use in this case

["Downing, David" <david -dot- downing -at- Fiserv -dot- com>]

Here's a problem I'm probably going to leave for our editor to solve, but I still wonder how you all would solve it. We use one style for buttons and another style for menu options. I need to refer to a command that's available as both a button and a menu option. I want to save repetition by referring to "The Submit button/menu option." Which of the two styles should I use, or should I just use plain body text? Or would you just live with the repetition and say "The Submit button or Submit menu option," to avoid the problem?
