Is there a way to add a note to a cell in a Word table?
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! Joan |

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. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Joan at UCSF" wrote in message ...

Unlike Excel, Word does not allow you to attach a comment to the actual
cell; rather, it will be attached to the contents of the cell. The following articles explains ScreenTips and balloons (among other things) in Word 2003: Show or hide ScreenTips http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...CH060829761033 Change the way tracked changes and comments look http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...CH063555981033 -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "mahesh" wrote in message ...
