TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
AFAIK, you can suggest but not force this behavior. For example, you can
insert a comment on top of a graphic, so that the comment text appears
whenever a user mouses* over it... *unless* the user has disabled
View|Markup.
To increase the chances of your comments being read, you could also put
in an AutoOpen macro that opens a message box urging the user to enable
markup view... *unless* the user has disabled macros. You get the idea.
