Screen tip problem
Greetings! For some reason, my screen tips for the horizontal ruler are not
displaying. The ruler is functional otherwise (indent sliders, tab stops, etc), and the screen tips show up everywhere else. I'm a teacher, and I'd like my students to get the screen tips alerting them to the first line indent, hanging indent, left and right side indents. Any ideas? Thanks, Jay |

Screen tip problem
My experience with those is that they don't show up as quickly as most
ScreenTips (I guess trying to stay out of the way), and that placement of the mouse pointer is very critical, especially in finding the Left Margin control when the left indent markers are at the left margin. -- Suzanne S.

Screen tip problem
Hi, Suzanne. Thanks for replying...this is my other screen name. I've had
the same experience, with the time delay and all. Good point about the positioning of the mouse pointer...that's exactly what I'm trying to illustrate to my students. I can get the screen tips for everything else to work just fine, and the ones for the indent sliders and tab ruler work fine on my desktop computer. On my laptop, which is connected to the projector, only the indent sliders and tab ruler won't pop up. Thanks again, "Suzanne S.

Screen tip problem
I've recently had the experience of trying to demonstrate Word techniques
with a laptop and projector, so I feel your pain. Just getting the computer screen fully displayed on the projection screen is a challenge. Are you using a mouse or the built-in touchpad? I'm so dependent on a mouse that I know I could never accomplish anything with the touchpad (and I can't type on those chiclet keys, either). I really don't know what to suggest, though I understand how frustrating this must be. -- Suzanne S.
