Is "Have" Capitalized in a Title?

Yes. "Have" is a verb, used as a main verb ("We Have a Plan") or a helping verb ("What We Have Learned"). Every style guide capitalizes verbs in a title, and "have" is four letters, so even the length-based guides would capitalize it.

"Have" in Sentence Case

APA reference lists, many news sites, and most UI text use sentence case instead of title case. There, only the first word and proper nouns get capitals, so "have" is lowercase unless it starts the title: "What we have learned so far." Pick one of the two styles for a whole set of headings rather than mixing them.
