Tech tips: How to add comments to a presentation in Powerpoint 2013
Use comments to add your feedback or ideas to a presentation. Attach comments to a letter or word on a slide, to a graphic or other object, or to a whole slide.
Add a comment
- On the slide, click the text or object that you want to add a comment to, or click anywhere on the slide to add a general comment.
- Click Review > Comments > New Comment. This opens the Comments Pane at the side of the slide pane, and places an orange active comment icon next to the element that the comment is about.
- Type your comments in the text entry box. To finish, click outside the comment box or press the Tab key.
If the Comments Pane is already open, you can click New Comment to add a comment to the text, object or slide that is selected. You can attach multiple comments to the same text or object this way.
Note:
- Elements that have comments are indicated by a comment icon. Click the icon to see the comments about that element in the Comments Pane.
- To move between comments, click the up or down arrow at the top of the Comments Pane.
