Tooltips Lab can be used to create tooltips for your presentation. It allows you to generate a new tooltip from scratch, or to use existing shapes on your presentation slides and convert them into a tooltip. The tooltip created consists of a callout shape and a trigger shape. In slideshow mode, the hidden callout shape will be revealed on click of the trigger shape, and it can be hidden again on a subsequent click.
Create Tooltip
Create Tooltip allows you to create a complete tooltip from scratch.
To add a new tooltip to a slide, go to Tooltips Lab and select Create Tooltip.
You can now go into slideshow mode to try the tooltip!
Note: Clicking "Create Tooltip" will generate a blank callout and default trigger shape for you. You can then add in your own text and information, or to format the shapes as desired after it is generated!
Create Callout for Shape
Create Callout for Shape allows you to create a callout for your provided shape. Your provided shape will be the trigger for the callout generated for you by Tooltips Lab.
To use this feature, create the shape you want to use as the trigger of the tooltip, then select the shape.
Next, go to Tooltips Lab and select Create Callout for Shape.
You can now go into slideshow mode to try the tooltip!
