This is the Photoshop Windows forum!

Right you are. But in all fairness, here’s where things went wrong for me. I did a search in the forums for "Tool Tips" and was directed to this forum with this message
"Turning on the cursor-hover Tool Tips, and hesitating long enough for them to appear is a helpful learning aid as well. Plus, it gives you the proper terms to use when you go search the Manual or Help files for more info about them."
Then
"Might not be a bad idea to turn on Tool Tips in Preferences. Then you can see what each tool is."
I didn’t realize I was in the Photoshop forum and of course didn’t realize that "Tool Tips" would apply to Photoshop. I do have Photoshop and checked it out and there it is in General Preferences. Oddly enough, I found out today that it’s probably the same file that controls both programs – specifically "Tool Tips.framework". Just have to figure out how to set it up properly.
My apologies for posting here. I did post in the Acrobat forum. Hopefully will get answer there.
Thank you

No need to apologise for getting lost in this rabbit warren.
The words "Photoshop Windows" are in very tiny print at the top of the page.
I taught Illustrator for years, and always referred to them with the non-technical terms of "white pointer" and "black pointer." I hope none of my grades ever had problems as a result.
Some of them must have migrated here, Don as we refer to them so as well ;P
Aside, who in the Spanish speaking world would care the Adobe terminology when they insist in changing translations? The arrows keep being black and white <lol>
