Hi All,

Is there a definitive methodology for capitalizing the first word in lists?

For example,

This is used to
1. eat a cat
2. kill a mouse, or
3. ride a horse.

vs

This is used for:
1. eating cats.
2. killing mice.
3. riding horses.

vs.

Use this to:
1. Eat a cat
2. Kill a mouse
3. Ride a horse

-------------------------------

Are all of the above correct? My mind has gone blank....

Thanks!

Deborah
