Screen Tip Size

[critter]

Using Visio 2010 and I want to insert a Screen Tip that is rather long at 3-4 paragraphs.  I've made the tip and after it's inserted, only about 25% of the information is displayed when you mouse over the object.  Is there any way to expand the size or amount of information that is displayed in a Screen Tip?

The limit appears to be set at 255 characters (including the ...). I don't see a way of changing that.

Critter:

   I've played around with this issue quite a bit, and Paul is correct.  255 is the max in Visio.  However, be warned that if you save your drawing as a web page, the browser will only display the first 63 characters.

   Good luck!
