Nothing happens when hovering over buttons in tool bar

In the Quick Access Tool Bar in Word 2007, how do I get the name of the
button to appear when I hover the mouse over it?

I've looked through Word Options and on-line Help, but can't seem to find
anything.

I'm using XP SP3.

At Office Button | Word Options | Display, do you have "Show document
tooltips on hover" checked? I have an idea that applies to ScreenTips within
the document (for hyperlinks, footnotes, etc.) rather than the QAT, but that
seems to be the only reference to them....And in fact I just unchecked that
and still get ScreenTips for the QAT buttons. They don't appear instantly,
however; you have to hover a moment. Word Options | Advanced | Display has
an option to "Show shortcut keys in ScreenTips," which suggests that
ScreenTips are displayed by default.
