Setting the Tooltip on the Excel Ribbon

I have so much to do with this project. Currently trying to get the Tooltip to work from the Ribbon in Excel.

I found something from https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/exceldna/7uMLPOrRJqw which lists the following:

The other parts of the tooltip popup are customised with "screentip" 
and "supertip": 
   <button .... screentip="This is the screentip " supertip="This is the supertip " /> 
and you can do a getSupertip callback. 

I'm using a tool called "Custom UI Editor for Microsoft Office" and if you're modifying the Ribbon it is a must have.




How Valuable is Your Time?

Time is your most valuable resource. It's very limited.

You have a finite amount of time yet an infinite number of things you can do with that choice, use it wisely.

This blog will contain the story of my product called Time-creator and some other random ramblings. It's a long story on how I got to where I am and where I hope to go. But basically I've been working on this project a very long time

So I'm developing a software product that will help solve some things that bother me. Hopefully they bother enough people that I can get enough people to pay for it.

You can follow the progress on this blog and at the home page of http://Time-creator.com

The current release is being developed in Excel 2010. My wife keeps say I have to create an app. I hope she's wrong and there are enough Microsoft Excel users who will love this product.
