If you're testing the same way I did, I can tell you why it doesn't work: If
you insert a comment without selecting any text, then you won't see a popup;
as long as you have at least one character selected, you will see a popup.

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