"Where" vs "In which"

Hi,

Recently I read in one of the SC guides that:

Where cannot modify "metaphorical" place, such as condition, situation, case, circumstances, or arrangement. In these cases, in which is used rather than where.

Please throw some light on this.

Thanks~

That's correct; "Where" modifies physical location.

Tell us what you don't understand about the rule, or provide a specific example that confuses you. I am not sure what you need from us.
