Screen tips

I'm trying to create custom screen tips, using the 'hyperlink' 'screen tip'
method. It works fine - the text I enter gets displayed when I roll over the
box.

However, it seems like the only thing I can put in is just straight text -
no lines, no indents, in short no formatting whatever. I'd like to put in a
couple of paragraphs.

Is there any way to put formatted text into a screen tip? Or, failing that,
is there any way to make another text box magicly appear when I roll over a
text box?

I'm using PP 2002.

What you want to do is possible, but it would require VBA. A VBA macro
can be triggered on mouse over, and that macro can be set to show a
regular (full-formatted) text box.
