Mouse over to show properties of an object

[Chiquita]

Is there a way to be able to mouse over an object in a visio diagram and have
the properties automatically pop up - as opposed to making the user right
click and then press the properties button?

You can use the ScreenTip (which used to be called Comments) to display 139
characters (I think)
For example, if you have a Shape Data row called Prop.Name and one called
Prop.Description, then you can put the formula:
=GUARD(Prop.Name & Char(13) & Char(10) & Prop.Description)
in the Comment cell (you can see this in the Miscellaneous section of the
ShapeSheet)
