Just to clarify, are we talking about the ScreenTips on ribbon items or on
comments (as in the original post)? It does not appear that there is more
than one setting for ScreenTips in Word 2007, and it should cover both
types.
If this is about comments, I assume you're working in Draft view or in Print
Layout view with balloons disabled (otherwise you'd see the comment in a
balloon). I don't seem to have any problem with ScreenTips for comments
except if I insert a comment in an otherwise empty document, in which case
it doesn't have any text to attach itself to (and that's the only way I can
insert a single-point comment because if I try to insert one in an empty
paragraph, it jumps back to the last word of the previous paragraph).

Hi Suzanne,
I like your response! 
I did try being more patient, but no luck. I was
working on a file yesterday and was able to see screen tips, but not
consistently. Today, I can't see them at all.
Hate to ask, but any other suggestions? I've tried working on existing and
new documents, just to experiment, but nothing.
Thanks!

Perhaps you're too impatient?

Hi Suzanne,
I am having trouble with this same thing. My ScreenTip style is set to
"Show
feature desciptions in ScreenTips", but no screentips are showing. I'm
using
Word 2007 - any suggestions?
Thanks!

Do you have "ScreenTips" checked on the View tab of Tools | Options?

When I hover my cursor over edits that include comments, or for
those
edits
made with Track Changes turned on, a popup does not appear with user
or
comment information. Could my settings be the cause? Where should I
look?
