How do I set the tool tip font in Office 2007?
It is important to me to be able to read a specialist font in the tool tips.
This used to be available through right clicking on the desktop, properties/Appearance/Advanced and set the tool tip in the dialogue. It appears that Word 2007 is overiding these settings with its own preferences. This makes it impossible to read the tool tips. How can I set my own prefrences? |

How do I set the tool tip font in Office 2007?
It shouldn't be overriding the font size setting--only color and typeface.
Here, I find that the system ToolTip setting does control the size of the tooltip font in Word 2007--but, color and typeface are ignored. Also... this in only for tooltips in the text area, such as footnotes and comments. When you hover the mouse over the ribbon or qat, the ToolTip font settings are completely ignored. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Anandajoti" wrote in message ...

How do I set the tool tip font in Office 2007?
Dear Herb,
Thanks for taking the time to reply, it's the typeface I am concerned about, not so much the size. Is there any way to override the settings, because as it id it makes it impossible for me to read my own footnotes without opening the pane at the bottom of the screen, which cuts down the workspace?

How do I set the tool tip font in Office 2007?
My experiments didn't reveal a way to change the typeface... only the size.
The default is something like 9 points, which is pretty tiny. Set to 12, I personally find the tooltips pretty readable. You might give a size boost a try before giving up. But, what's readable to me might not be readable for you. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Anandajoti" wrote in message ...
