Forms Help text appears in the status bar (but not till you protect the
form). Is that where you're looking for it?

I am trying to create a from with text and want to include help text. I
accessed the help text using the properties function on the text box,
entered
the text under the f1 tab but it does not work. I have confirmed that the
text is still there...

Help!
