    Thank you, you are a lifesaver. I've got an order book I have been working on since 2017 with over 4000 lines with so many notes and they are important ones so this really helped!

    Thanks simmed 

     

    Actually, I reported the problem to Microsoft.  Then a couple weeks ago I received an email saying I had a private message from them.  I could never find the message.  But, then I noticed the problem was fixed.  I can now hover over and view the contents of the note.  Even after I have accessed a hyperlink.  I then remembered that there was a MS update a few days previous to the email from MS.  So, maybe that was the fix.  Not sure.  But it works now.  So, I am happy!!
