How to make my comment appear during the presentation?

[Guest]

When I insert a comment, it doesn´t appear in the slide show.. it only
appears when I am doing the slides..

That is by design.

You can use the comment tool on the free RnR PPTools Starter Set. They're
not real comments -- just autoshapes that look like the old PPT 2000
comments, so they show up in slide show view. http://www.pptools.com

You're using PowerPoint 2003 but are thinking about the way comments used to
work in some earlier versions of PPT, I'd guess.

This explains a few ways of making it work:

Convert PowerPoint 2002/2003 comments into PowerPoint 2000 comments

They're actually real 2000-style comments, not lookalikes. If you turn View,
Markup off, they disappear, for example.

2003's a bit snarky about this ... if you only have 2000-style comments, it
disables the View Markup command. But you can add one new-style comment, drag
it off the slide and then the View Markup command works to turn both new and
old style comments on and off.

Ahhhhh, thanks for that explanation. Now I know why I thought they were just
autoshapes. Duh, I should have known better!
