Hi, Can you clarify how this works for you.
1) When you mouse over an object, the tooltip displays. There is no right-click or other click needed? 2) But, the tooltip does not disappear when you mouse off the display? If not, how do you get rid of the tooltip when you are done? Cheers, Sean -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lisa M.

You can have it display right away when your mouse stops when you start using the program, then have a short delay before it pops up when you're more accustomed to the features (and get irritated by the help popping up all the time!), and finally, turn it off when you don't need it anymore. For that program, it works. The topics are short and there's no need to memorize or have graphics. Maybe this guy has seen a program with that kind of help and that's why he wants to do it. If that's the case, knowing what kind program it was and being able to contrast it to what you're writing about might help him to see it won't work in this case.
