I've been on FileMaker Pro 7 Developer for ages, but I like the idea of tool tips, and so I finally I upgraded to FileMaker 11 Advanced.  Yes, yes I know there is FileMaker 12 but I didn't want to go through the hassle of converting all of my existing files from .fp7.  Anyway, in the Layout Inspector (which is new to me) I assume that one selects the field or the field name and then types in the text of the tool tip in the Inspector.  I'm assuming that most people are choosing the field itself, rather than the name or header.  Is that true?

The tool tips support the Self function, so you could select all the objects of the layout and give them the Self value.

Try to see how it works.

One advantage of tool tips is you may not need a name.
