  • In this tutorial I'll show you how to easily add your own helpful screentips or tooltips to Microsoft Word documents. This will allow you to add useful 'floating text' tips which will appear when the mouse hovers over certain key words, providing extra information such as the meanings of words, explanations of acronyms, reminders to students of key ideas or topics, or any other information you feel would be helpful.
    You'll learn how to add and customise your own tooltips in Microsoft Word documents, including adding multiple lines of text, as well as formatting their visual appearance.

    What a HUGE help!! So clean and simple. Thank you.
    HOWEVER...
    * When I pressed Alt+F9 I did NOT view the same results.
    * I discovered that...somehow...Pressing Ctrl+Esc will reset my keyboard to the correct setting.
    * Now. . .when I press Alt+F9 things behave as you instructed.
    Again, as they say here in Texas: thank you. 🤠🤠

    This is a great tip! Giving this a go. Is there a way to create floating text from another document? Here is an example. Let's say I am presenting a coverage summary to a client. In the summary, I add a coverage "product contamination". In another document I have developed a definition bank, which includes the definition of "product contamination". Is there a way to to link the full text definition from the definition bank to display as hover text in the summary? As an FYI the definition bank is an ongoing document that I have been compiling over the years and is not specific to this particular client. Thanks for the help!

    Question, within the "..." for the ScreenTip hyperlink, could one add an image? If so, how? I'm wondering if there's an instruction such as the /I and /o that should be added to render an image?

    Thank you for this! Is there a way to embed a random text (customizable) into a word doc like these boxes? For instance, if I wanted to have each member of my team offer a word or two for a training document, would this be possible to have them generate randomly? Or would I need to follow these directions with the understanding that there would be no hyperlink people could click on, just the text I embedded in the bookmark
