Re: how to write my own tooltip. mouseover a word, definition shows

Hi Lew

Word has no straight-forward way to do this. But see the following for every
way I know of that you can jury-rig Word to explain terms to people.

Word 2003, latest revisions.

I am trying to write a document that explains a new process my company is
implementing. There is a lot of new terminology.

I want the reader to easily be able to look up a new term while reading
the
text.

In some programming I have done, some documents have a feature that, when
a
word is 'mouseovered' a small popup is displayed with info in it, and when
the mouse is moved away from the word, the small popup closes. This is
sort
of like a tooltip in VB, I think.

I tried to jury rig the Comments feature of collaberation, but it doesn't
work on many levels, especially the one where the reader has to have
collaberation turned on, and the proper options set. This is not
desireable
in this document.

Does anyone know if Word has the capability that I am discribing?

Tks
