SUMMARY
In the Word 6.0 for Windows Help file, the diagram of the ASK and FILLIN dialog is incorrect. The actual dialog box does not contain the text "Press Shift+Enter to start a new line."

MORE INFORMATION
When you update an ASK or FILLIN field in Word 6.0 for Windows, a dialog box prompts you for information, but no "Press Shift+Enter to start a new line" instruction appears (as it does in Word 2.0).

The dialog boxes in Word 6.0 for Windows have been enhanced so that if you press ENTER to start a new line while the dialog box is displayed, Word returns text containing a new line character (same result as SHIFT+ENTER in Word 2.0) followed by a paragraph mark where the line breaks.

To obtain the Help topic for ASK or FILLIN:


 * 1) From the Help menu, choose Contents.
 * 2) Select Reference Information.
 * 3) Select Field Types and Switches.
 * 4) Select Fields Types.
 * 5) Choose ASK and FILLIN from the alphabetical list offered.
