SYMPTOMS
In the products listed above, the help topic for the Advance field states that the \Y switch "moves the line of text that contains the field to the specified vertical position relative to the current [cursor] position." This is incorrect. The \Y switch moves the lines of text relative to the top margin of the page.

The information in Online Help for Word for Windows versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c is correct.



STATUS
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
If you have both Word for Windows version 6.x and Word for Windows 95 installed on the same computer, when you open the help topic for the Advance field in Word 6.x, you see the incorrect help topic. This is because the help engine used by Windows 95 captures and reroutes requests to the Word 95 help file instead of the Word 6.x help file.

Additional query words: field WordPerfect move advance switch page
