Default Comment balloons during mouse-over

That certainly explains things. :-)

I think maybe at some point in the past I determined that the only place a
point insertion doesn't work is at the very beginning of a document. So if you
are testing in an empty document, you would get that result.

That *is* weird. Anyway, I'm glad you got it sorted.

It works for me without selecting any text. Weird. Thanks!

OK, it will work if you have added your comment to a selection (that is, if
you
selected text first).

Selecting "ScreenTips" on the View tab of Tools | Options should work--or

thought. When I test it, it doesn't work... :-(

In Word 2003, when I hover the mouse pointer above a comment, a
temporary balloon should pop up revealing what the comment is. Or so
I seem to recall. I'm trying to get that functionality back, since I'm
trying to maximum document viewing space by deliberately turned off
review markups normally shown in the right margin, and I've turned off
the reviewing pane. Is there a switch buried deep in the bowels of the
menu system for getting back the temporary hover bubbles?
