Thanks very much, Herb, for this suggestion. Sounds quite plausible, but I
won't try this solution immediately. Need first of all to brush up on using
regedit, and making sure I've attended to the necessary safety precautions.
It's not something I have hitherto ventured to do, but there's always a first
time!

When I hover over a tracked change, the tooltip displays indefinitely. I
wonder if it's possible that a registry key is damaged, causing such a short
interval for you. I would try deleting or renaming the Data key in the
registry to see if that fixes it:

I have "Show document tooltips on hover" enabled (Word 2007) but the
tooltips
don't display for long enough when I hover over a tracked change in the
document. I'm getting about one second to read the tracked changed
properties
before the tooltip disappears. In my case I want to check the exact time
an
insertion or deletion was made, and becomes quite a feat of visual
dexterity
to spot that information. Nine times out of ten I'm just not quick enough.
I haven't been aware of this problem before, and it may be that this is
the
first time I have really needed to see the tooltips. Or it may be that
they
previously displayed for longer, and something has now changed.
I can't see any way to set the length of time the tooltips display. Does
anyone have any suggestions on this one?
