I had to look this up, because I have trouble remembering too.
According to the list of character styles in the chapter template:
"OOoEmphasis — use for style, field and tab names, titles of books
(Writer Guide), and general emphasis, as in “do not do this” or
important words introduced for the first time."
OOoEmphasis is defined as italic.
BTW, Sak, be sure to use a *character style* for anything that needs
to be bold or italic; don't manually bold or italicise words. Many
chapters in the books have not been done properly throughout (due to
their long convoluted history and the sloppiness of many people,
including me), so we're trying to tidy them up as we go. I don't
really have the discipline for it, though Gary seems to.

I thought the (tabbed) pages were in bold when they were to be selected

In the past, dialog box names used default character styles. If any
were not, then those would be in error.
Although the names of the dialog boxes themselves are supposed to be
in the normal character style, the names of the individual *pages* or
*tabs* of the dialog boxes were in italics, were they not? Sak may be
talking about those.

First, the use of italics for naming dialog windows was implemented
in some places but not others. I went ahead and italicized the
other places, but I didn't see anything in the Style Guide about
whether this was a preferred method or not. I'd be curious to know
what your thoughts are on this for future revisions or documents
that I'm working on.
