How can I embed information to show on a mouseover in PowerPoint?

[Guest]

I'm trying to get additional information to show (a box with text) when I
mouseover an object in a PowerPoint slide. (Without leaving the slide and
going to a new window) Can anyone help?

Quick Trick #16 on Sonia's site should do it:

If that doesn't do it, there are VBA solutions that can be more
sophisticated, but Sonia's trick works for 99.9% of the people (or at least
some other made-up high percentage).
