Hypertext question
Dear all,
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...earch&search=+ On this page if I hover over any link I will get a bubble with a few words of information. So can I do this in MS Word 2007 but without involving hyperlinks? For example I want to have a bubble which with hovering will appear to give a translation or definition of a particular term in my document. The closest I have got is 'insert hyperlink' but here the bubble says 'click to follow link' but there is no link. So is there a better way to do this? thanks |

Hypertext question
If you wrap the text you provide the tip for in a bookmark, you could use
that bookmark as a link destination. The pop-up would still contain the 'click to follow link' text, but it wouldn't be going anywhere if you clicked it. If you don't mind having all the definitions displayed at the bottom of your text, you could use endnotes to achieve what you want. Yves "Uddhava" wrote in message ...

Thanks for replies. Oh boy this really sucks! To Yves, the problem with
endnotes is that sometimes I want the bubble to say that these 3 or 4 words are translated as X Y Z, so it is crucial to know which 2, 3, 4 etc words the bubble applies to. Of course most hyperlink bubbles on websites these days don't say 'clink link to follow' because this now goes without saying whereas a few years ago the reader would need to be told 'clink link to follow'. Anyway it seems it seems that I will have to use some other application to do this, maybe a wiki. thanks "Yves Dhondt" wrote: If you wrap the text you provide the tip for in a bookmark, you could use that bookmark as a link destination.
