Tool Tips on Repeating Field?

I have a row of buttons used in multiple layouts, and I have put individual tool tips on each of them. Trouble is, I have labelled the buttons with a repeating field of names. The tool tips only appear if the cursor is over the edges of the buttons, not in the centre where the repeating field and names lie. Not the easiest for users! Has anyone found a way around this without sacrificing the editing flexibility of naming with a repeating field?

Are the buttons touching each other? Are the repeating fields in a range, as opposed to being separated?

Hi Steve

Yes, they are. I have tried separating out the repeating label fields individually over each button, and placing the tool tip over the transparent background of the label field, sized to match the button's area. Its a work-around solution, thanks, but its more time consuming to set up!

It may be more trouble, but there is no alternative. Be thankful tooltips even exist, give how long it took them to implement tips.

Thanks Steve. Finished setting my solution up this way and it looks good/works well. Tool Tips were indeed a great enhancement in 8!
