Context sensitive "message" or comment required
In Excel, a comment linked to a cell "pops up" when you cursor on the cell.
I want a similar capability in document templates using Word 2003. For example, the template may have a section to add specific content ("Describe the market") and the pop up message would provide specific instructions or explanations ("focus on xyz and provide abc data"). The example is knaff, but I am looking for an alternative to laying out individual sub-sections in the template. Any clues? (apart from the use of comments or autotext) Thanks. |

Context sensitive "message" or comment required
Hi ?B?Y2hlZWt5Y2hld3M=?=,
In Excel, a comment linked to a cell "pops up" when you cursor on the cell. I want a similar capability in document templates using Word 2003. Any clues? (apart from the use of comments or autotext) And why would you not use Comments? They work in the same way as you describe with Excel. That's the only possibility in Word you're going to get something like this in a tooltip. For example, the template may have a section to add specific content ("Describe the market") and the pop up message would provide specific instructions or explanations ("focus on xyz and provide abc data"). Traditionally, text formatted as "hidden" has been used for this purpose. If you want to get really fancy you could create a SmartDocument or VSTO solution and have the context-related material appear in the Actions Pane (task pane).
