SYMPTOMS
In the Form Field Help Text dialog box, under either the Status Bar or the
Help Key tab, Word for the Macintosh does not automatically select the Type
Your Own option when you type something in the Type Your Own box. The None
option remains selected. As a result, any Help text you type is lost if you
choose OK unless you manually select the Type Your Own option.
This problem does not occur in Word for Windows.
WORKAROUND
You must manually select the Type Your Own option before you choose OK.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
