Modifying Tooltips

Sorry for such a basic question, but we recently upgraded from FMP9 to FMP13.  Existing databases were converted.

I need to modify tooltips...but apparently it has changed drastically (at least for me) with FMP Advanced 13. 

 

Silly question?  How do you edit existing tooltips?  I can't find the option ANYWHERE.   The FMP advanced manual provides no guidance and just a vague statement that you can edit tooltips.

 

I've been able to "show" which fields have tooltips, but nothing else.  Right mouse clicking, looking in layout, format, etc., menu options doesn't show anything.  Inspector doesn't show any options.

Thank you!

It's the 2nd thing down on the Position tab in the Inspector.

HTH

    Looks like you need to update your profile. Here is a quick link for your connivence. MY PROFILE

     

    Select the field, and then use the Inspector >> Position Tab >> Tool Tip should be displaying the tip.
