Disable PowerPoint ScreenTips
PowerPoint ScreenTips appear when the mouse is hovered over a button on the ribbon. Their purpose is to indicate what the button is for and/or to show detailed descriptions of the feature.
Some PowerPoint users would prefer to disable this feature or simply show the screen tip without the detailed description. For this you need to access PowerPoint options.
