IMac – Microsoft 2011 for Mac

imacmicrosoftms office

For school I have to create a Powerpoint presentation and I am experiencing a problem. My teacher asked me to use a Text Effect of Gradient Fill – Black, Outline – White, Outer Shadow and when I try to hover the mouse over the text effects it will not show me the name of the effect.

Is it a problem with my mac? Should I report this to Microsoft? Any help will be appreciated.
