I was watching the ActivTip video on Hovering and it mentioned a lesson on the Rollover Tool. I have looked on ActivTips as well as Flipcharts. Is this a work in progress or am I just missing the lesson?

Thanks!

The Keywords in the Property Browser are:
Label
Caption
Behaviour
Tooltip
Select the object, type the text into the Caption box, Select Behaviour > Tooltip

That should do the trick.

The Activtip is called Caption Feature.

thank you!

I thought that was the feature, but when there were two different ActivTips, one on Caption and one on Hovering, I got confused and thought maybe there was yet another tool I was missing that would work in classes!

Yes, "hovering" (to me) is a mouse's general ability to have a cursor be "on top of an object" (versus clicking) which allows you to use the "Caption" feature with the Activpen since it has built-in "hover" capability like a mouse.

So... you can hover over an object with the Activpen to show a caption but click on that object to make a different action occur. Again like a mouse.
