On the Insert menu, click Comment. Type the desired text.

To display the text of each comment as a ToolTip when you rest the
mouse over the comment reference, do the following:

In Word 2003, click Options on the Tools menu. Click the Track Changes
tab. In the Use balloons (Print and Web Layout) box, choose "Never".
Click OK.

If you are using Word 2000, make sure that the "ScreenTips" option is
checked in ToolsOptions, View tab.

I would like to be able to add a note to a cell in a table created
in Word.
Is there a way to do this that operates in a similar manner to how
you can
add a note to a cell in Excel.

I would like to add prompt questions to a form I am designing, and
hidden
text won't work because it is not a case where you would replace the
prompt
with the answer.

Thanks!
