Create Your Own Screentips In Microsoft Word

[@coreyannereichert3903]

I spent my entire morning trying to find the information you just provided in a nine minute video. THANK YOU!!!

[@joewilliams5234]

What a pleasure! Finding someone who knows the subject AND knows how to teach! Thank you.

[@fvandenkommer5091]

Thank you very much ! After hours, days looking for wrong useless answers, you brought the solution !

[@TheTechTrain]

You are most welcome

[@hambuguhyar]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This is such a life saver 😭 I tried searching for this specific feature for hours now and I was starting to think Word didn't have it... Thank you, thank you!

[@TheTechTrain]

Glad I could help!

[@HotButteredCorn]

What a HUGE help!! So clean and simple. Thank you. HOWEVER... * When I pressed Alt+F9 I did NOT view the same results. * I discovered that...somehow...Pressing Ctrl+Esc will reset my keyboard to the correct setting. * Now. . .when I press Alt+F9 things behave as you instructed. Again, as they say here in Texas: thank you. 🤠🤠

[@missknowall]

Very interesting! There is so much more to MS Word than meets the eye. Thanks for revealing these "hidden talents" 👍👍

[@wilmerrondon9009]

really nice and helpful video! thanks!

[@EricKiltie]

Superb video, thanks for this ... it's "almost" exactly what I was looking for. I'm now trying to figure out how to save as a PDF and have the screen tip links translated over ... but no success thus far. Any ideas?

[@lollymarbar1641]

Me too... any answers

[@jayshreephalad2855]

Thank you for the great tips. I have been searching in the Help function but to no avail. Made my editing so much easier.

[@jjv65uk]

That was excellent, you really made it simple for me👍👍

[@yrrebdus010]

Thank you very much! Just what I was looking for. Is there a way to customize the color of the pop-up box?

[@taylorparks3777]

Is there a way to convert the Word document into a PDF and also preserve the embedded links so that the links will still work and the floating text can still be viewed?

[@mrstevennewmanEDU]

Well explained!

[@lollymarbar1641]

Very useful had to do this on a job today

[@TheTechTrain]

Glad it helped

[@lollymarbar1641]

@@TheTechTrain but how can you make the box larger for larger amount of text

[@rebeccal790]

This is a great tip! Giving this a go. Is there a way to create floating text from another document? Here is an example. Let's say I am presenting a coverage summary to a client. In the summary, I add a coverage "product contamination". In another document I have developed a definition bank, which includes the definition of "product contamination". Is there a way to to link the full text definition from the definition bank to display as hover text in the summary? As an FYI the definition bank is an ongoing document that I have been compiling over the years and is not specific to this particular client. Thanks for the help!

[@EltonSilvaJesus]

Exactly what I need too

[@uniquebajaj]

Thanks, very helpful

[@atikahadi9409]

Very helpful, thanks. I created the tip but not successful in breaking it into several paragraphs, although I followed the instructions. Any suggestion to why it's not taking the changes.

[@shanadelyn9715]

Thank you for this! Is there a way to embed a random text (customizable) into a word doc like these boxes? For instance, if I wanted to have each member of my team offer a word or two for a training document, would this be possible to have them generate randomly? Or would I need to follow these directions with the understanding that there would be no hyperlink people could click on, just the text I embedded in the bookmark

[@axr6327]

This is amazing. Thank you! Question, within the "..." for the ScreenTip hyperlink, could one add an image? If so, how? I'm wondering if there's an instruction such as the /I and /o that should be added to render an image?

[@chestercountyblues]

Brilliant. Many thanks!

[@TheTechTrain]

Glad it was helpful!

[@zacharywalter9139]

What version of Word is that? I have the bought version of 2019, and for a week I had the autosave switch and the rest at my top ribbon, but then it went back to normal. I preferred the version on your screen.

[@szymonj.rucinski3843]

it's just what I was looking for! thank you so much :) the only question I would have is how to stop the text from cutting off the last letter of the last word? for example when I type in "trustworthy" it shows up as "trustworth"

[@sarahlively2310]

Very helpful but so convoluted. Why hasn’t Microsoft just created a button to add mouseover text? Not that complicated. Thank you for this work around.

[@panellhnies]

Thank you sir, great video !! I really need that !!

[@kirbesh7962]

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for.

[@taylorsoul8006]

Please I want it to be applied to every of that particular word I assigned a hyperlink to

[@malicktchakpedeou9989]

Can you insert a picture this way so that the picture pops up when you mouseover?

[@catherinesamuels-humbervie8977]

Can I change the size of the font for the word tips?

[@TheTechTrain]

Unfortunately no

[@JRoth-99]

[@dwaynerenaker1198]

When I hit FN F9 either my screen goes black or nothing happens. Is there another way to show and edit the screen tips?

[@HotButteredCorn]

try this: * When I pressed Alt+F9 I did NOT view the same results. * I discovered that...somehow...Pressing Ctrl+Esc will reset my keyboard to the correct setting. * Now. . .when I press Alt+F9 things behave as you instructed.

[@TonyTTS]
