Footnote text visible in "fly over"?

Is there a way in NWP (2.0.4) to see the text of a footnote by just having the cursor positioned temporarily above the marker in the main text? This is something I liked about Microsoft Word, but haven't seen in NWP.

This is already possible when you hover the mouse (pointer) over a note reference. It is not always reliable, though.
In long documents Tooltips (which reveal the note text) may take longer to appear. If this does not happen, clicking near the note reference and then hovering the mouse over the note reference should work.

Thanks, Hamid.

Could you please check the attached file and see if it works for you? It's converted from a .docx file. But no matter where I click or hover or wait, I don't get the tool tip to show.

This is where it does work for me eventually for all the notes, though at first it seemed that it would not.
I think it will eventually work for you after you do some editing.
The last footnote text was out of sight, but the Tooltip still displays the note text.

Thank you again! I'll play with it some more. Strange that I couldn't get it to do it. :)
