Hi John! This is actually an integrated feature in MI Pro but you may have switched it off. Look in Options > Preferences > Map Window for Show InfoTips and check that option. The help file says: "Choose to display the value of an object's label expression in a Tool-Tip like bubble."
Note two things, first the layer must be snappable which means you can turn off background layers from showing their labels. Second, any valid label expression can be used, even using multiple lines. Label position and offset is not observed, though. I think the snap tolerance radius is active but I have found no way to control 'hover time'.

Due to the scale of the map at entire layers, it is not possible to have labels on; I was wondering if it is possible to set the labels to appear when the mouse hovers over a point? Is this possible? If so how? As always any help would be much appreciated!
