I have a client who insists on any word hinting at a noun to be
capitalised. And I have another who really wants capitals only when
absolutely necessary.
Seems it can be pretty arbitrary.
Probably best to use the established in-house style guide, anecdotal
standard or if neither is available, try and write one...
The Australian Style Guide, and Chicago Manual of Style are good options
for guidance.
HTH.

Subject: atw: Use of caps for titles etc
Hi All:
Are there any style suggestions for use of caps? For example:
"Establish an Advisory Panel to advise the Steering Committee and the
Project Manager on..."
Wherever I go, people seem to think that English is German in its
liberal use of capitalisation. Drives me nuts. But offhand I'm not aware
of rules to either justify or denigrate the use of capital Letters for
almost every Noun in a Sentence.
