capitalization

0Hi,02br
02br
00Sometimes I am not too sure of whether I need to capitalize in situations like this where we are not quoting anybody's words but still have to enclose in a pair of quotations. Please note the capitalize word "Care". Could it be "care" I think it could but what are the guidelines? 02br
02br
00And great thanks goes to Harry Philips, author of 01i00Growing and Propagating Wild Flowers02i00 in which he points out that ''Care must be taken to see that these offshoots are not covered by falling leaves.'' 02br
02br
00Would you not capitalize this?02br
02br
01i00The question "01u00what one has to do in this type of situation"02u00 is a double-edge sword in that ...02i02br
02br
00So, would you say, except where a quoting of someone's words is involved, every other instance need not be capitalized? 0-
