Adding a ScreenTip

Summary: Adding a screen tip to a hyperlink in a Word document. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

ScreenTips are a Web feature supported by the latest versions of Web browsers. They appear when your mouse pointer hovers over a hyperlink, and they are used in the same way that ToolTips are used in Word. You can add a ScreenTip as you add a hyperlink by following these steps:

  1. Click your mouse on the Insert Hyperlink tool on the toolbar, or choose Hyperlink from the Insert menu. Word displays the Insert Hyperlink dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  2. Click on the ScreenTip button. Word displays the Set Hyperlink ScreenTip dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  3. In the ScreenTip Text box, enter the text you want to use for your ScreenTip.
  4. Click on OK to close the dialog box.
  5. Set any other hyperlink values, as desired.
  6. When completed, click on OK.

Tip #42 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003


Great Idea! Word is a tool to get what you really want—printed output. This means you need to make sure that Word works as well as possible with your printer, whether it is sitting on your desk or in a room down the hall.
