One can insert a comment box in powerpoint. The default name is 'User'. how
do you change it?
 
Does anyone know how to:

1. Change/Remove the numbering of the comment
2. Remove the date on the comment

Would custom coding be required?

Yes. The code would have to read the properties of the existing comment,
delete it and create a new comment in its place.

Wait ... on second thought, there's a way to do this ... but it's seriously
tedious.

Choose Tools, Macro, Microsoft Script Editor.

In the project explorer, click the slide that hosts the comment you want to
change. Use Ctrl+F to bring up the search dialog and search on "Author".

That'll take you to the first comment. It's fairly obvious what to edit.
