Did you know that you can create a tool tip that has multiple lines?

It's easy!

1) Select anything in design view that has ControlTip Text in 
   properties (Other tab).
2) Type in your first line.
3) Hold down the Ctrl key and push Enter.
4) Type a space. (Without a space this blank line gets ignored.)
5) Hold down the Ctrl Key and push Enter.
6) Type in your second line.
7) With the cursor in the ControlTip Text field, move up and down with 
   the arrow keys to review what you entered.
8) Go back to form view to review the Tool Tip.


Have Fun!
Dan

PS - This also works for Tags.
