Tip Windows Tab

By default, Process Navigator displays ‘Tip’ windows whenever you add an Activity, Deliverable, Node or Dynamic Connector to the Visio drawing page. These windows provide information about the purpose of each shape and allow you to type its name. As you become more experienced, you may find that you no longer need these tips and find other ways to name shapes (through the shape’s Properties dialog box or by pressing F2, for example).

The Tip Windows tab lets you turn on or off the various Tip windows (you can also turn off Tip windows by selecting Don't show me again on each type of Tip window).
