Question

• DSelect Worksheet on the menu, and then select Tooltip.
• ESelect Tooltip on the Marks card.
• FSelect Format on the menu, and then select Font.

• A
  7% (4)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  4% (2)
• D
  87% (47)

Explanation

Three valid paths lead to the Tooltip editor in Tableau, where text formatting (including bold) is available: D opens it via Worksheet > Tooltip in the top menu; E opens it by clicking the Tooltip button directly on the Marks card; and F reaches font-level formatting through Format > Font, which exposes tooltip font settings including bold. All three routes give access to the same underlying tooltip formatting controls.

Why the distractors fail: Options A and B are fabricated keyboard shortcuts - there is no hover-and-press shortcut for editing tooltip content in Tableau. Option C (right-click field > Format) formats how field values appear on the view (axes, headers, numbers), not the tooltip's text styling.

Memory tip: Think "three menus, one mark" - you can reach the Tooltip editor from the top Worksheet menu, the Format menu, or directly from the Marks card. Keyboard shortcuts and field-level formatting are red herrings because tooltips have their own dedicated editor.
