Keywords Used in Titles Keywords (General and Product-specific) Product-specific Keywords Additional Query Words

Keywords Used in Titles
When you query the Microsoft Knowledge Base, you may get multiple articles in the query results. To quickly identify which products an article applies to, we have added a product-specific prefix to the titles of articles that apply to Microsoft desktop applications, such as the Microsoft Office programs.

If an article is about a programming topic that applies to any product that supports VBA or VBScript, the title will contain one of the following prefixes:

VBA   Articles that apply to multiple versions of VBA VBS   Articles that apply to multiple versions of VBScript If an article is about a programming topic that is specific to the interface or object model of a specific Microsoft product, the title will contain a prefix that designates that product. ACC   Articles that apply to multiple versions of Microsoft Access XL    Articles that apply to multiple versions of Microsoft Excel FP    Articles that apply to multiple versions of Microsoft FrontPage WD    Articles that apply to multiple versions of Microsoft Word OL    Articles that apply to multiple versions of Microsoft Outlook PPT   Articles that apply to multiple versions of Microsoft PowerPoint If an article applies to a single version of a Microsoft product, the version number also appears in the prefix. For example, WD97 is the prefix for articles that apply only to Word 97.
