You could handle this with a collapsible section. You need a section, a toggle variable and two buttons.
Add a section next or under your entry field and paste your text into this section control. Add a field (Add Field) and name it toggleVariable. Default value shall be 'off'.
Now add two buttons (change their label to 3 and 6 in font Marlett to get the characteristic look) and add rules to both buttons. Select set a field's value for button click and set toggleVariable to on respectively off.
After that set a rule for your section. Add Rules -> Formatting -> Hide this control on toggleVariable = Off. You can do the same for the buttons, so that only one button is displayed at a time, depending on the value of your toggleVariable.

I do not know of any possibility. There seems to be an action "Show a message", but this is not available for me: support.office.com/en-za/article/… – wheeler Aug 18 '15 at 13:05
