Hello, first time poster, long time reader and fairly new to VBA but I'm trying to learn!

Here's the context: my team works with a lot of contract templates but, sometimes, they don't know all the legalese involved in the document. We've worked to create a separate Word document that has a list of definitions of the relevant terms all organized in a table.

What I want to be able to do is, when someone either hovers over or clicks on a defined word for either a Message Box to be displayed with the definition from the other document or for some kind of hover text to appear with the definition.



I don't know if this is even possible or if there would be a better way to accomplish it outside of VBA. If so, let me know! Thank you so much for any help, I sincerely appreciate it!

I'm using Office 365 if that's relevant.

What about adding them as comments, extracted from an Excel spreadsheet? Comments can be later deleted in a couple of clicks.
