Comment pop up in Powerpoint

[mudstuffin]

I have a powerpoint slide, which has 9 bullet points on it. I want it to bring up a relevant comment (about 30 words) to each point when the mouse is dragged over it. I also want the comment to hide when the mouse is moved off. I was thinking about popping up a userform, but I cant figure out how to close this when the mouse leaves the bullet point. Any suggestions as to how I could do this either with the above possibility, or any other way that works ?????

Thanks in advance.

Comments in PowerPoint are useless as far as I know. Unless someone else knows a better way of using them than I do.

What you could do is:

For each bullet hyperlink it to the same slie and put your text in the tool tip. That way when you mouse over it, the Tool Tip will pop up and even if you accidently click on it, it will go back to the same slide. I don't normally use Tool Tips and as such I don't know if there is a limitation to the number of characters.
