"Hover" popup boxes
When you hover you mouse over visio's default shapes, it pops up a little yellow box with the name of the shape of some usefull information. How do I add this action to shapes I create?
I am creating a server rack diagram. I want the name of the server to pop up when you hover over the "shape" for the server. I am using Visio 2003 Thanks in advance for you help. |

"Hover" popup boxes
There are a few different ways of adding information to shapes on the page
and have them display when you move your mouse over them. The most common (and the one I think you are really looking for is called a Shape Screen tip. Draw/drop a shape - and select it Insert menu - Shape Screen Tip - then enter text in the dialog unselect the shape When you move your mouse over the shape - you'll see the text The other method is to enter a "comment" on a shape: Draw/drop a shape - and select it Insert menu - Comment - enter in text unselect the shape When you move your mouse over the little yellow rectangle with your initials in it - you'll see the text. Hope that helps, darrin. "Melchandra" wrote in message ... When you hover you mouse over visio's default shapes, it pops up a little yellow box with the name of the shape of some usefull information.
