Hi
Is it possible to create a comment in MS Word 2007 like the ones in Excel which pops up when you hover your mouse over a certain word or sentence. For example to explain the meaning of a word. If yes, how? Thanks |

Yes. Select the word or sentence, then on the Review tab of the ribbon,
click the New Comment button. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Jay,
I'm not near a Word 2007 machine to check so thought I'd ask: Can comments in Word 2007 be configured to work like a screentip and display when hovering? I'm only familar with comments in balloons in the margin or (rarely) in a split screen layout. -- Cheers! Gordon Bentley-Mix Word MVP Please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup.

In Draft view, comments display only in ScreenTips, but they also display on
mouseover in Print Layout view (provided you have ScreenTips enabled). -- Suzanne S.
