What about the use of the infinitive form of a verb in procedure titles,
e.g.:

"To Create a New Document" or "To Change the Modem Settings"

In general, starting with some verb form does help to ensure that you're organizing by tasks.
Otherwise, like most points of this nature, I don't think it really matters what standard you use, so long as you're mostly consistent.
