If you work in Microsoft Word, you may be familiar with the comments feature. It allows you to add comments throughout a document to alert a reader or author to certain information. For example, an editor can leave comments by certain content in a document to alert the author about specific issues.

You can also add comments to slides in a PowerPoint presentation. The comments are sort of like side notes.

To add a comment in PowerPoint 2007:

1. Click the appropriate slide within a presentation.
2. On the Review tab, in the Comments group, click New Comment.
3. Type in the information you want to appear in the comment and click outside the comment box.
