Help Text on button

[Mark]

I am using word 97 onwards, I have created a small button on a document, the
button has a picture on it so there no space for any text. Is it possible
when the button is hovered over some alternate text is displayed adjacent to
the button? I have seen on some occasions that there is a help text in the
properties window but this is not the case in this instance!

If you are using a Control-Toolbox button, get rid of it. Use a MacroButton
field. Your button is the display text for the field.
A macrobutton field lets you include a tool-tip that will display when the
mouse is over the button for a while (assuming that display of tool tips is
enabled by the user).
