Default How to add a tip in a form

In a form I want to create a small ? beside a field. When user moves his mouse over the ? should appear an informative note.


How do I create this in Word?

Assuming you're using formfields, you can add help text as one of their properties. Then, when you click on the formfield, the help text will display on Word's status bar.

Alternatively, if you bookmark your '?', you can select it and insert a hyperlink to the bookmark, with your 'help' text added as the Screen Tip. The drawback with this approach is that the Screen Tip will also include instructions like 'click to follow link' in bold text whilst your help text will be plain.

In the properties I don't see any help but I am afraid it is not what I am looking for. What I want is what you can see at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...005186259.aspx. When you click on underlined word appears a text. That's what I want to create in Word.
