Is it possible to insert a comment in a text box on PowerPoint?
I know you can do it on excel when you want to add a comment to a cell but can you do it to a text box on PowerPoint?
 
You cannot enter a comment within a text box but you can insert a comment
shape on the slide.

As Shyam mentions, you can choose Insert, Comment from the main menu and PPT will
insert a comment. Once you've entered text into the comment, you can click/drag the
little box in the upper left corner of the comment wherever you like (ie, next to
the text box)

If if you're using PPT 2000 or earlier, drag the comment itself to the text box.

It sounds like that is the User Name that you have set in Tools > Options >
General. Change it to Angela and then insert a comment and you should see your
name instead.

example, everytime I click insert comment it say Standard Integrated Desktop

a comment it says something else?

See what you have typed in under Tools/Options/General. That's where the
"author" comes from for the comment text.
