3) When variable width is selected for the Tip Window (check global extension settings), the window can be resized so that you can see your text better.

 
Version 1.5
1) Fixed: Linking problems when creating a new link caused by some back and forth history code.
2) Fixed: Tip Manager bugs in the search for Specific Text.
3) We have included the following properties in the Global Extension:
New: Set the default tip color (will default to yellow if omitted).
New: Set a caption for the Tip (defaults to no caption)
New: Make the Tip a Toolbox so it will stay on top of all the other windows
New: Make the Tip stay open will stop it from closing when it loses focus or when someone clicks on the tip.
4) New: Along with the above amendments in the global extension we have also included a setting to make the tip a variable width tip. The Tip Text will scroll horizontally and will only start a new line when terminated by a carriage return \ line feed (Enter Key). The Window in turn will adjust to however wide it needs to be to display all the controls that are created. Note: The Horizontal Lines will adjust according to the resulting window width.

4) You can now "date" your tips so that in the Tip Manager you can see tips that have been edited since a particular date.
5) There is also support for the "<" character! So to get the text " When Date < 1996" you need to specify a double <<
