I was wondering if someone could tell me how to show/hide
comments within a Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 presentation.
I created the comments and want to be able to toggle them
on/off while in presenation mode.

Thanks for any responses.

You know, I hadn't thought about it before, but I don't think you *can* hide
comments in PPT 2000. Best bet would be to drag them off the edge of the
slide where they won't show in Slide Show View.

PPT 2002 (aka PPT XP) and 2003's comments don't show in Slide Show View.
This happens (or not, depending how you look at it <g>) automatically.

Go to View...comments.

Then, select the slide with the
comment...SlideShow...CustomAnimations...highlight the object in blue
(w/ check in box next to it) on the Effects tab. Select something
under Entry Animation and Sound (like Appear). Then, in the After
Animation dialog area, select Hide on Next Mouse Click.

That should do it for you. You will have to animate each object.
Good luck!
 
Pay no attention to that Echoing Lady.

You can hide comments in PPT 2000.

You can also add this macro to your presentation:

Sub ToggleCommentVisibility()
ActivePresentation.DisplayComments = Not ActivePresentation.DisplayComments
End Sub

Then create a button or shape and set its action setting to Run Macro, choose
ToggleCommentVisibility as the macro to run.

Then when you click it in slide show view, the comments will become invisible
if they're visible or vice versa.
