I have an annoying yellow square containing tip made in PPT2003. In PPT2003
it is possible to remove this square. In 2007 it is impossible to remove,
seems like it is a full part of the template. Help - anyone?

What happens when you right click on the comment? Is there a popup with
delete option?

Unfortunately no, it seems like a full part of the template. But in 2003 it
is no problem to remove. It is a comment on how to use the template, and I
can choose show or don't show.

YESS! We made it. The box was selecteable when viewing "Comment Template",
not the ordinary template view nor the third type of template view. Don't ask
me why. Thank you very much for guiding us, Steve! This has been a real
nuisance for a lot of us in my company, and must be a bug or something?
Excuse my English, I have a Norwegian PPT license, so I do not really know
the English menus.
