Any way to make a balloon appear ONLY when the cursor is
put over the text with a comment??? Similar to a
hyperlink, but the text doesn't redirect you, just shows
a comment window. I am using word 2002 and I know this
option in in Word XP...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Word 2002 and XP are the same... Have you activated "Show
AutoComplete suggestions" in Tools/AutoCorrect
options/AutoText? That's resposible for whether tooltips
are shown when hovering the mouse over things.

The ScreenTips appear when balloons are disabled or not displayed (in Normal
view, for example).
