A screen tip can be created on a word or phrase by bookmarking the location
and creating a hyperlink to the bookmark (ie a hyperlink to itself) - a
screen tip can be created as part of the hyperlink. But if I save the
document as a pdf, the screen tip disappears (although the hyperlink
doesn't). How can I ensure the screen tip appears on the pdf?

I don't know that you can. It would depend on your pdf conversion software.
I don't know that hyperlink screen tips are generally carried into a pdf.
They are not using my (freeware) software.
