Can word do mouseover comment like excel
Good morning and happy VD: In Excel, I can insert a comment into a cell, and
excel puts a little red flag in the corner of the cell, and you can mouseover that flag and see the comment. Does anyone know how to make a "hot spot" in word such that when you mouseover a flag, it displays some text not visible otherwise? I already know how to insert comment in word and then do the show-hide trick, but then you see all the junk in the entire document, which is not the behavior we desire. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Ron Ehrlich |

Can word do mouseover comment like excel
Hi ?B?Um9uIEVocmxpY2g=?=,
Good morning and happy VD: In Excel, I can insert a comment into a cell, and excel puts a little red flag in the corner of the cell, and you can mouseover that flag and see the comment. Does anyone know how to make a "hot spot" in word such that when you mouseover a flag, it displays some text not visible otherwise? I already know how to insert comment in word and then do the show-hide trick, but then you see all the junk in the entire document, which is not the behavior we desire. I don't know what you mean by "all the junk in the entire document", and it would help to know which version of Word you have, but... Essentially, a Word comment is the only choice you have. The Word object model does not support an "mouse over" events, and Word doesn't provide anything else that gives you a tooltip when you hover in the text. About the only other thing I can imagine, if this is Office 2003, would be to set it up as a SmartDocument (requires knowledge of XML and a programming language like Visual Basic or C#). Then you could present context-sensitive information in a task pane, at the left.
