Track Changes - Mousing over changed text
How do I see which changes were made by which author (also known as a
reviewer) when I mouse over the changed text? Usually I hover the mouse over the tracked change and a ScreenTip appears that shows the name of the author. How do I turn this feature? PS: I am not referring to the "balloons". |

Do you have "ScreenTips" checked on the View tab of Tools | Options?

Track Changes - Mousing over changed text
Anything that pops up (in Word) when you mouse over it is a ScreenTip of
some sort or other. The ones in documents are controlled by the check box in Tools | Options | View; the ones on toolbar are controlled by the check box in Tools | Customize | Options. -- Suzanne S.

Track Changes - Mousing over changed text
I have another question about the screen tips. In Track Changes, the screen
tips reproduce the text one can already see on the screen, obliterating the view of the document. It is distracting to constantly have to move the mouse. I want to see who made the changes and when, so I do not want to turn screen tips off. However, I do not want the useless reproduction of inserted text shown on the tip. Is there a way to direct what information the tip shows? I am using Office 2003. Larry "Suzanne S.

the single person who asked the question; you've just proved that sometimes it actually works! -- Suzanne S.

Track Changes - Mousing over changed text
I am really dense. I have Office Home and Student 2007. For the life of me,
I cannot find Tools|Options and the View Tab. I find Screen Tips under the Top Options and have selected "Show feature descriptions in Screen Tips." That is not it. I find no other screen tips to check. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Do you have "ScreenTips" checked on the View tab of Tools | Options? -- Suzanne S.

Well, it helps when you tell us what version you have because everything is
in a different place in Word 2007. There are actually a couple of settings in Word 2007 that refer to ScreenTips. The other one is Office Button | Word Options | Display: "Show document tooltips on hover." -- Suzanne S.

a week or so when I meet up with a writer who has the same version, but his "howers" work. Have a great New Year, and thanks for your help. Henn "Suzanne S.

If he's a serious writer, more concerned about words than layout, he may
well be using Draft view.
