Annie,
Well that is the common problems. A few other fringe possibiliteis would be
to try showing and then hiding the Document map. That seems to correct some
screen tip displays.
Jay Freedman posted the following as a response to a similiar question a
while back:
On the chance that the check box in the dialog doesn't correspond to
the setting stored in the registry, try this: open the VBA editor
(Alt+F8), display the Immediate window (Ctrl+G), paste this line into
it and press Enter:
Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True
One more thing you can try is deleting the Data key in the registry.
