Turning off balloons in WORD

[Bugsy]

When rolling the pointer over a list of files to open (in Word), the balloon
pops up describing the type of file, and all sorts of information.

I find it distracting and sometimes annoying.

Is there some way to turn off the balloons? I have read "HELP" and can't
seem to find the answer.

I am using WORD 2000, SP-1

Thanks,

CT

Did you not like the answer you got the last time you asked this question?

Sorry, but I never got an answer to my first post. Or at least it never
showed up on my computer. Don't mean to be a nuisance.

Thanks for response.

Here's what I posted yesterday about this time:

This is a Windows setting. In Windows Explorer, choose Tools | Folder
Options | View and clear the check box for "Show pop-up description for
folder and desktop items."
