Am trying to make an interactive tutorial and would like the trainee to
explore one slide, mouse over an item, and get an explanation.

Is there a way to format screen tips, make them larger, easier to work with?

Or is there a work around using animation? Make a text box appear then
disappear if the mouse is moved away?

Thanks.

Vincent, In addition to Sonia's suggestion, a little VBA could also do
the trick.

Option Explicit

Sub ShowHide()
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1).Visible = Not _
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1).Visible
End Sub

Assign that to a mouseover or mouseclick of some other shape.
