Comments in Power Point

[Guest]

I created a brief in Power Point 2000 and sent it to a colleague for comment.
He added comments to my brief in Power Point 2003 and sent it back to me. I
can't see the comments. Has this happened to anybody else?

Yes. It always happens when comments are added in PPT 2002 or later and the
presentation is viewed in PPT2000 or earlier, or in any current Mac version of
PPT.

This explains a couple possible fixes (but they'd all need to be done by someone
with PPT2002 or higher)
