Is there a mouseover VBA event I can use to tickle a hot spot comm

Good morning and happy VD: In Excel, I can insert a comment into a cell, and
excel puts a little red flag in the corner of the cell, and you can mouseover
that flag and see the comment. Does anyone know how to make a "hot spot" in
word such that when you mouseover a flag, it displays some text not visible
otherwise? I already know how to insert comment in word and then do the
show-hide trick, but then you see all the junk in the entire document, which
is not the behavior we desire. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Word doesn't really have an equivalent to the way Excel comments work.Word
Comments are seen in different ways, depending on version of Word, and User
preferences - as you seem to have discovered.

As an alternative, it is possible to use artificial hyperlinks with custom
Screen Tips to sort-of mimic a rollover comment but it isn't really very
good.
