Hi - I'd probably use an XML secondary data source with a field called "ShowHelp" in it. I'd have an action on the button to set ShowHelp to true. I'd have my help text in a section or calculated field, with conditional formatting to hide unless ShowHelp is equal to true. Then the user could click the button to show the help text. Probably need to have a way to set ShowHelp back to false, too (maybe if they click the button again)

One of the fields on the current paper form has a little bit of text to help the user with a question if they need help and i need to include this in my infopath version, but i dont want this visible all the time. What's the best way for me to have a little question mark image or button etc. that the user can hover mouse over/ click on to see this help information?

this form is filled out in a browser so must be browser compatible.

Thanks :)
