Animation Box from a Curser Move

Hello

I have 18 boxes on a slide. Each box has a description i would like to display when you put the mouse curser over the box. The description can be held in another box, on another slide. The reason for this is to only display the descriptions the viewer is interested in. I'm using Powerpoint 2000

Thanks in advance
James

[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]

Hello,

The Action Settings for mouse over do not include the option to simply
display text or to make a text box appear and disappear (rollover effect).
Also "Mouse on" and Mouse off" are not valid triggers for animation effects
either (for customers using PowerPoint 2002 or 2003). As you discovered,
the Screen Tips can be used in a limited manner (since it's not really
intended for this use).

However, if you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions as
to improved rollover/mouse-over capabilities in PowerPoint, don't forget to
send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHYit is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
