Is there a way to create a pop-up help bubble for a keyword in a Word 2003
document. For Example, in Windows's help menus certain words are in green
font with a double underscore. If you float the pointer of the word for a
few seconds, additional information pops-up. Can I create custom pop-up
hypertext like that in Word?

When creating the hyperlink click on 'screen tip'. You can type whatever you
want in there, and it will appear when you hover over the link.

Thanks. This is an interesting way of tricking Word into creating a
hypertext style pop-up screen tip however it does come with some unwanted
baggage. The Insert Hyperlink window will not close until I actaully give
the keyword a target. But I don't really want to "go" anywhere if I click
the keyword. The screen tip also includes "click to follow" instructions
along with my message which is a bit distracting. My intention is to simply
define a term or an acronym with a hypertext pop-up just like in MS help
screens or many websites.

Where you tell the link to go will be circular. You first bookmark the
selected text, then give the bookmark as the target of the hyperlink. That
doesn't solve the other problems, however.

Thanks Suzanne. I'll give that a try. But from the replies that I'm
getting, it seems that MS Word 2003 doesn't contain a clean
hypetext/hotspot/sceen tip feature.
