Adding Screen Tips to hyperlinks in FrontPage

FrontPage 2002 adds a new feature to hyperlinks: ScreenTips. These are the little yellow boxes that pop up when you move the mouse over a hyperlink. To specify a ScreenTip in FrontPage 2002, open the Insert Hyperlink (or Edit Hyperlink) dialog box and click the ScreenTip button. Enter the ScreenTip text and click OK.

ScreenTips only work in Internet Explorer 4.0 and later, so you shouldn't include any essential information in your ScreenTips.
