I have a Company Structure flow chart created in Word. I want to display a
text box containing hyperlinks (to other Word documents) when the user hovers
the cursor over different text in the original document. How do you do this?

Hi Robert,

depends on how much time you want to put in this.
IMHO, smart tags might be a way,
but you'd have to get used to C# or C++ beforehand.
Which one, I don't know.

All in all, here and now, the answer seems to be:
not with justifiable effort.

I don't know if you can do hyperlinks with this use of autotext, but it's
certainly worth a try. This is an excellent article:

Please let us know if it worked for you. If you decide to use it, please
make sure that you are saving the auto text entries with the current document
and not the default normal template.
