As Echo said this is the best way. Word or warning though we have found users with v 2010 don't see the screentip.

Would like to add screentips to some PPT textbox and shapes. &nbsp;I know I can add Screentips through the Insert Hyperlink dialog, but the &quot;OK&quot; button is disabled unless I enter an actual address for the hyperlink. &nbsp;I tried entering a blank address, but that generates an error if the user clicks on the shape. &nbsp;<br />

I've got it working so that the hyperlink is to the current slide, so the slide doesn't change, and no error messages are presented if the user clicks on the shape. &nbsp;However, I'm just wondering if there is a &quot;better&quot; or &quot;best practice&quot; for this functionality.

PowerPoint is a slide show presentation program currently developed by Microsoft. PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides" that may contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely. The presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. Slides can also form the basis of webcasts.
