Dear experts,
I have added pictures to a word document. Is there a way to explain what the
pictures represents by right clicking or pointing to them?

Thanks!
Best regards,
 
Hi,
I do not wish to have something written beneath or close to the pictures; I
would like that a text appears when you move your mouse on the pictures, or
when you right click on them... and that it disappears either if you move out
of the frame of the picture, or if you click somewhere else in the document.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
best regards
 
The alternate image text when you hover your mouse over a picture is only
available in html documents but you can set this text when creating html in
Word by clicking your right mouse button on the picture, choosing Format
Picture and entering the text in the Web section. To display a message near
a picture in Word you could enter a comment (Insert -> Comment) beside the
picture, readers should see this appear if they move their mouse around the
edge of the picture.
 
Hi,
I tried with the comments but they stay visible on the document. Is there a
way I can hide them?

I had a second thought: by using the hyperlinks I can manage through the
screen caption to display a certain text when the cursor is on the picture.
Only I always get below "click to follow the link". Is there a way I can get
rid of it?

Many thanks!
Best regards,
 
Here's one way:

1. Select the graphic and insert a bookmark (Insert | Bookmark).

2. Select the graphic again and insert a hyperlink to that bookmark (Insert
| Hyperlink).

3. In the Hyperlink dialog, type your "mouseover" text as the ScreenTip.

Clicking on the hyperlink won't move the insertion point. The only drawback
is that you'll see "Ctrl+click to follow link" (or "Click to follow link" if
you have Ctrl+click disabled) before your descriptive text. Inserting a
Comment would give a similar ScreenTip with different annoying excess
verbiage.
