SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Office Manager (MOM) ToolTips feature is disabled in Windows NT version 3.5 if the toolbar does not have current window focus (even if you have selected Show ToolTips). ToolTips are not displayed when the mouse pointer is over an icon on the toolbar.

CAUSE

In MOM version 4.0, ToolTips caused newly started applications to lose focus. They also became associated with other applications besides the toolbar. To fix this, MOM version 4.2 under Windows NT only displays ToolTips when in focus.

WORKAROUND

To enable ToolTips, click the toolbar title once. If there is no title displayed, move the mouse over the toolbar and click the right mouse button or any icon to give the toolbar focus and enable ToolTips.
