Screentips in Word Create one

ScreenTips are a common feature on web pages, they’re the little boxes that appear when you ‘hover’ your mouse pointer over a highlighted or underlined hyperlink,

However, I would hazard a guess that you did not know that you can do the same in word

This could be a useful facility for explaining or defining a term or word

Here is how you do it:‐

Highlight the word or words that you want to generate the ScreenTip on.

Right click on it and select Hyperlink.

At the top right‐hand of the window Click the ScreenTip button

Here you type in the message or description that you want to appear in the popup box

Next on the bottom box named Address you need to place an asterisk “ * “

If you don’t it will not display OK for you to close the window.
