You might find it a lot simpler to edit the images externally from Word to
include balloon texts. SnagIt (there is a demo) makes this sort of thing
child's play. You'll find countless examples in the Word pages on my web
site.

If you have a copy of the image without the balloon text it is simple enough
to add a new balloon and replace the graphic in the document (which is what
I do when revising my web pages) I posted some changes this morning which
have some new graphics (screen captures) with balloon text - http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_graphics.htm

I am starting to write a larger documentation (about 200 pages with images
and balloon text)
What do you think - make it sence to store images as an external file in
separate folder like You write in your tutorial here? http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_graphics.htm
The web page demonstrates the insertion of graphics from file for an
entirely different process, I gave the link to demonstrate the balloon
call-outs. However, having the graphics on file and linking them to the
document rather than embedded in it is the better way forward. This will
make it simpler to make a change by editing the graphic and updating the
field.
