FRUSTRATION! How do I identify buttons in Word?
Microsoft Word seems to update all intuitive uses right out of their program!
I don't know what many of the buttons are anymore that are located on the various toolbars because when I place my mouse pointer on the button, the small identification "drop down" boxes no longer show up...PLEASE HELP! |

FRUSTRATION! How do I identify buttons in Word?
Uses??? I wouldn't think that truly intuitive uses of Word would need
screen tips. Word's default setting is to show screen tips. You must have changed that setting at some point. How you change it back depends on which version of Word you have. Unfortunately you don't seem to know, and we can't see your screen from here. In Word 2002 or 2003, click on Tools | Options | View tab | check the "ScreenTips" box | OK. In Word 2007, click on Office Button | Word Options | Popular | ScreenTip style: Show feature descriptions in ScreenTips | OK. krb wrote: Microsoft Word seems to update all intuitive uses right out of their program!

FRUSTRATION! How do I identify buttons in Word?
Hi "garfield-n-odie [MVP]...
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Sorry, should have mentioned edition of Office...I have 2003. I did what you wrote and when I looked, the screen tips option was already checked. I have opened othere programs and the screen tips work on those buttons. Can you think of anything else I can try? Thanks again, krb "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote: Uses???

Close Word, and use regedit to rename Word's data key in the Windows
registry at \\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0 \Word\Data. When you start Word again, Word will create a new Data key with the factory default settings. krb wrote: Hi "garfield-n-odie [MVP]... Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
