adding pop-up help text
I would like to create a template with little help buttons the user can
click to see instructions about how to fill out various areas of the document. For example, if you're filling out the "Initial Requirements Section," I would like there to be a little Help button or link in that area that, when clicked, either makes a pop-up window appear with instructions for that section, or else unhides some hidden instructional text on the page. I once saw a template that did this, but can no longer find it. Can anyone help? Thanks, Tom |

One of Graham Mayor's pages has something along these lines:

Thanks Peter. But I'm not sure the link points me to exactly what I'm
looking for. Graham's page explains how to use macros to insert information into a document. I just want the macro to show some specific hidden text. For example, the template I envision might look like this: ---------------------------------------- 1.1 Initial User Requirements -- Help [hidden text: List all the requirements users need to begin the project. Think about the users needs with the business costs....] ---------------------------------------- The text in brackets is hidden initially, but when the user clicks the Help link, the text appears. When the user clicks the help link again, the text disappears. |

Tom,
You might find something that you can use at one of these two links: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/document_u...structions.htm http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Toggle_Data_Display.htm Tom wrote: Thanks Peter.
