Making WORD show a comment like EXCEL
In excel I can add a comment to a cell to show some text for the user to
complete the info in the cell.A guidance note. I want to do the same in WORD son the user can hold the mouse over the paragraph heading and some text will show for guidance. Is this possible in WORD, or is there something similar? Thanks, Ian, |

The way it looks to the user will depend on their own settings (shows as a balloon, or text pops up when they hold their mouse over it). I would recommend highlighting some text that is important to your comment and the choose Insert Comment and type in what you want to say. Remember that the settings for how this comment will look are different for each user. ToolsOptionsTrack ChangesBalloons Hope that helps! Angel Bivins Word Angel Document Design www.wordangel.com |
