Hi ?B?ZGViYnlk?=,

You need to phrase your questions more carefully. It's difficult to guess exactly what you mean, although I get the feeling you want to define your own tooltips? But you don't say what should trigger them? Closest you can probably get would be to use SmartTags. You'll find more on the subject on the msdn site at microsoft.com. It involves knowing how to program in VB6 or soemthing like that.

I will try to reword my question: In HTML, one can create a box that will pop
up with text in it when you roll your cursor over a selected spot on the page. I would like to do the same thing in WORD. The closest technique i have come across is ToolTips on a hyperlink but they seem to have a limit on characters and will not allow any pictures.

The closest technique i have come across is ToolTips on a hyperlink but they seem to have a limit on characters and will not allow any pictures. No, Word has no "mouse-over" events, other than comments, hyperlinks, and SmartTags. None of them support things like pictures. Fact is, Word is a word-processor - made for creating print-out document. It's not an HTML browser or layout program, or picture manager, or one of the myriad things people would like to shanghai it for; so there are just some things it doesn't know how to do.

You can create a popup for a picture by bookmarking it and hyperlinking it
to itself, using the ScreenTip for this purpose. But I believe the OP said the ScreenTip did not allow enough characters. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne,

But you can't show a picture in a pop-up. OTOH, maybe I misunderstood that part. In anycase, Word doesn't have any equivalent to the browser, DHTML type of "pop-up" the OP is looking for.
