If he's a serious writer, more concerned about words than layout, he may
well be using Draft view. If he were an impecunious writer (or one who saw
no need to upgrade), he might be using a pre-2002 version of Word that
doesn't have balloons at all, but since you specify that he is using "the
same version," I'll take your word for it.

Thanks! You have been more than patient. I'll get on the bottom of this
in
a week or so when I meet up with a writer who has the same version, but
his
"howers" work. Have a great New Year, and thanks for your help.

If you can see the balloons, you won't see the ScreenTips. You will see
ScreenTips in Draft view (as opposed to Print Layout) or if you have
balloons disabled.

Well, it helps when you tell us what version you have because
everything
is
in a different place in Word 2007. There are actually a couple of
settings
in Word 2007 that refer to ScreenTips. The other one is Office Button
|
Word
Options | Display: "Show document tooltips on hover."

Thanks for the response. There must be something else. The "Office
Button
| Word
Options | Display: "Show document tooltips on hover" is checked, but
hovering does not work.

I am really dense. I have Office Home and Student 2007. For the
life
of
me,
I cannot find Tools|Options and the View Tab. I find Screen Tips
under
the
Top Options and have selected "Show feature descriptions in Screen
Tips."
That is not it. I find no other screen tips to check.

Do you have "ScreenTips" checked on the View tab of Tools |

How do I see which changes were made by which author (also known
as
a
reviewer) when I mouse over the changed text?

Usually I hover the mouse over the tracked change and a ScreenTip
appears
that shows the name of the author. How do I turn this feature?
PS:
I
am
not referring to the "balloons".
