Powerpoint: Print Comments Only

[Guest]

I am using MS Powerpoint 2007.
Is it possible to print the list of comments only (exclude the slides,
hand-outs, notes pages, or outline view)?

Jeia,
That simply is not possible in PowerPoint. Maybe someone could write an
add-in to do what you want. Who knows maybe someone has already done so, in
that case, he/she will jump in, I'm sure.

Using PowerPoint as it comes out of the box, no.

This page has a little macro that will export the comments and open the
resulting file in Notepad; from there you can do pretty much what you like with
them.

I'm new to VBA-- so excuse me-- but this did not work for me. The output I
received was a text file with the slide #'s, but no text (although most
slides had copious amounts of text in the Notes Pane).

Suggestions?

You asked for a way to print comments and exclude notes pages.
The linked page does that.

If you want notes page text, try this instead:

Geeks, like the computers they drive, can be SO literal. ;-)

1) Open print in PowerPoint
2) Select "Print Comments" option.
3) Select print layout of print Six Slides per page. This forces PowerPoint to consolidate comments onto single, separate sheet.
4) Print entire slide deck to PDF. The deck will contain slides and comments, but on different sheets.
5) Open PDF and print only the pages with comments.
