How do I set up balloons that appear where the cursor rests? Polyhymnia 12/30/2008 11:55:01 AM I have a document in Word 2003. I would like to insert information in balloons that will appear when a student rests the cursor on a particular word. I cannot remember if I have seen this in simply a word document but do know I have seen it on internet sites so that may be the only way to do this. Can anyone explain how to do this?

Re: How do I set up balloons that appear where the cursor rests? Polyhymnia 12/30/2008 3:30:00 PM But now I get a username# inserted after the word. Microsoft help only tells me how to change the username not how to get rid of it. I like the comment box but don't want any marks in the text -- just for the box to come up when the cursor goes over the word. Sorry to be difficult "Suzanne S.
