Hi,
I was just wondering, whether MS Excel supports Mouse over text.
I tried Help and also searched in the forum, could not find any clue

Probably not in the way you are thinking. What did you want/expect to happen
on a mouse-over?

You can add comments to cells that can be set up to appear when you
mouse-over the cell(s).

Hi,

The mouse over (probably the on mouse move event) is not supported for
comments in the spreadsheet to the best of my knowledge. In general this
event is triggered in Excel, under our control, only on a user form.

It may be possible to fake it, but I don't know how.

It works for me with comments inserted into a cell - Insert a comment and you
get the little red triangle indicating there is a comment. Move the mouse
over the cell and the comment pops up for viewing? Just used Excel 2003 to
make sure I had not once again "mis-remembered" something.
