How to toggle help text on/off

Wed, 19 Mar 2014 21:23:58 GMT

I have a requirement to provide mouseover pop-up help text for every object on every sheet of the application. This is to meet US govt Section 508 accessibility requirements. However, normal users don't need or want them and they make using the application very messy. Is there a way to globally (or even 1 object at a time) disable the help popups on objects? I am thinking a button calling a macro to let a use rturn them on/off as they like. I've played around with this without any effect:

sub DisablePopUpHelp

set up=ActiveDocument.GetApplication.GetUserPreferences

up.FunctionPopupHelp=false

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.SetUserPreferences up

end sub

Any help would be appreciated!
