pop-up balloons
Is it possible to create pop-up balloons in MS Word? The same way you can do
on HTML pages? Example, "Place cursor over word to see additional information on pop-up balloon"? |

I am not sure if you can or if you cannot.
One alternative way to do it is by using ScreenTip. Press Ctrl + K (or the Hyperlink button, or Insert - Hyperlink). In the Text to Display, type in the word that will be visible on the document. Then click ScreenTip, input the text you want to users to see when they rest their cursor over the word and click OK to return to the Insert Hyperlink dialog box. Finally, in the Address field, type 'javascript:;' (without quotations). HTH "NanzRomero" wrote: Is it possible to create pop-up balloons in MS Word? The same way you can do on HTML pages?

Using 'javascript:;' as the target will trigger a warning if you should
click on the hyperlink. A better approach is to bookmark the text, then insert a hyperlink to the bookmark, which is self-referential. Clicking on the hyperlink is harmless (will not trigger a warning) and will not move the insertion point. In either case, you may want to remove the Hyperlink character style and/or apply some other distinctive style to indicate that a ScreenTip is available. -- Suzanne S.
