I rarely weigh in on these questions but I think this one is a case of
meaning, not grammar.

The first sentence sounds like the ONLY place these factors appear together
is on this form.

The second seems to say that just the factors that meet this criteria appear
on this form.

That may help. Or not!

Hi,

I have a summer student helping me with my Help system. She is an
university graduate and has a lot of writing expertise.

She pointed out a sentence she felt may be wrong. We took out my Gregg
Reference Manual. We are still stumped.

My sentence: Factors that are the same across all pipelines and internal
companies are only included in this form.

Summer Students: Only factors that are the same across all pipelines and
internal companies are included in this form.
