Showing text via action settings

[Guest]

I'm creating a digital memory book for my students. I have inserted graphics
for navigation purposes. For example, clicking on a picture of a bus will
take you to the next slide. Here is my question. How do I set it up so that
when the mouse scrolls over the image, a text box appears that states the
function of the image but then disappears again when the mouse is no longer
on the image, such as in many websites?

Thanks Rae and Luc:

This is the type of thing that I am looking for. However, it does not work
with my hyperlinks that go to the last slide viewed and the one that ends the
show. I also saw that it doesn't work in the viewer or with microsoft 97. I
would like the tips to be accessible for all my students. Is there another
way to accomplish this?
