Re: rollovers

["Rick Henkel" <frameuser@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Shlomo. I'll take a look at that article you referenced.

I'm happy to report that I figured out a solution all by myself, which is to
create two form fields. One includes the text I want for the rollover, and
the second references the first when I move the mouse over a certain area in
the PDF.
