Re: Style guide for GUI elements wanted

[Robert Lauriston <robert -at- lauriston -dot- com>]

The Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications aka MSTP
covers all that stuff. There was a free .chm of the second edition
available for a while. MS pulled it when they did the third edition,
which included a less-than-fully-featured PDF. I guess the paper
edition is out of print again and going for $75 and up, but you can
get a legal electronic copy from O'Reilly and other vendors.
