Showing or Hiding Tooltips and Shortcut Key Assignments
When you place the mouse over a toolbar button, a tooltip is shown by default. A tooltip describes the function of the button and the assigned keyboard shortcut (if any). A keyboard shortcut is a key combination that has been assigned to invoke a common command. For example, Ctrl+P is the default key combination for printing. Pressing these two keys is the same as selecting File > Print.
You can show or hide tooltips and shortcut key assignments using the Options tab in the Customize window.
1. To open the Customize window, right-click in the toolbar area and select Customize.
2. Click the Options tab.
3. Complete this page, referring to the following table for option description.
